Thanks for listing this. It looks great! I just ordered one.
Nice! Just snagged me one o dem tasty Moorsles. Thanks for the headzup
I ordered one! It’s my Christmas gift to me. How sad. Unless someone wants to paypal some money my way, and then I’ll say the gift is from you.
Thanks, Heidi!
Great looking print, and a great value. Congratulations, Todd!
Today’s date isn’t April First, is it?
Heidi, thanks for posting about this – I don’t know how I would have found out about this otherwise. I ordered my three (one for me, two as gifts)!
Between this item and Black Dossier, it’s a good year to be an Alan Moore and Todd Klein fan!
I couldn’t pass this up, either. Certainly not at that price.
Long time reader… first time commenting…
Thank you very much Heidi! I just bought one. I would have been so upset if I found out about this “after the fact.”
I can’t wait ’til it arrives!
