Easily my favorite issue of Baltimore yet.

I'm really enjoying this series, quite possibly my favorite currently ongoing book. The writing is creeeepy, the Stenbeck art is consistently terrific, Dave Stewart is his usual outstanding self, and the Mignola covers are gorgeous. Keep up the good work, folks!
BTW -- I've not read the original Baltimore novel, but I'm definitely looking to pick it up now.

semi-OT: original Baltimore novel
Speaking of which, I'm noticing there were two different covers for the novel. Does anyone know what the difference is? I'm assuming one was a variant or special edition? Thanks in advance!

I used to know the answer to this, but it's gone now. The one on the left is the original cover and the one of the left is a variant or special edition. Couldn't tell you more than that, I'm afraid. Originally Posted by brentmcd

The one on the right was a variant of some sort. I don't completely recall, but I'm pretty sure it had some extra art pages and was perhaps signed? I have the one on the left, which is the standard version. And yes, pick it up! You won't regret it!

The one on the right is the Diamond Previews Exclusive edition, featuring the original Hans Christian Andersen story that inspired Mignola to write Baltimore (4pg), spot illustrations, and a sketchbook section (15pg). Not signed for a standard 'though.
All it doesn't contain is the lush color cover of the regular edition.
Both books are wonderful, but I think I might be preferring the Diamond edition, for the added illustrated stuff basically.Last edited by Kees_L; 09-19-2011 at 12:51 PM. Reason: .
Chillingly good stuff besides Mignola, Slint, M, Knut and really big chunks of tinfoil?Been called a 'good egg'. Been told to rock, been told to steady myself. Been told to (please) be goin' places.

your hands miles apart, as if they'd never met / you were the happiest I'd seen you yet. ~ (full) lyrics to 'Exhume' by Bedhead.

I'm guessing that young Swedish couple will tip Baltimore location to Judge Duvic. Anyway another great creepy issue, loving series so much!

Whoa. Amazing write up! Thinking about this series in a whole different light now, but not entirely sure I should be. Great info here, though! Originally Posted by Middenway
