FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Housed In a Deluxe Two Piece Slipcase Unlike Any We've Ever Produced Before!

If you're a fan of Stephen King's dark imagination, Glenn Chadbourne's artwork, and/or our collectible Artwork Portfolios, we have a deal you won't be able to beat!

We've made exclusive arrangements with Glenn Chadbourne to collect 100 pieces of artwork from The Dark Man by Stephen King into one giant artwork portfolio, which is SIGNED by Chadbourne on a special signature sheet and limited to a one-time production run of just 500 sets. These special artwork portfolios will never be reprinted or reissued.

We're doing something completely different for this artwork portfolio, too. Because the stack of artwork is way too thick for a regular portfolio folder, we've designed a special TWO PIECE slipcase system that will hold the artwork in a vertical position to protect it from damage.

In addition, we're matching the production materials from the Limited Edition traycase of The Dark Man for these beautiful two piece slipcases, so these artwork portfolios will be the perfect addition to your collection!

Included in each portfolio will be:

* 71 pieces of black and white interior artwork from the book
* the 2 author and artist "photos" as drawn by Glenn Chadbourne for the book
* the artwork for the 2 signature sheets for the signed editions without any of the text
* 8 pieces of full color artwork from the book including cover paintings, back cover paintings, frontispieces from the signed editions
* 13 brand new black and white drawings that did not appear in the book
* 2 brand new COLOR drawings that did not appear in the book
* the full color alternate artwork we did not use for the bookmark for the Slipcased Trade Hardcover
* a brand new piece of artwork for the portfolio's exclusive signature sheet that will be signed and numbered by Glenn Chadbourne

So this set includes EVERY piece of artwork in the book, including the signature sheets that will only ever be seen by the collectors who were lucky enough to snag a copy of the Limited Edition or Lettered Edition before they sold out, along with 15 new pieces that have never been published anywhere before!

Remember, this is a ONE-TIME printing of the artwork portfolio and we will NOT be printing more!

About the "The Dark Man"

Stephen King first wrote about the Dark Man in college after he envisioned a faceless man in cowboy boots and jeans and a denim jacket forever walking the roads. Later this dark man would come to be known around the world as one of King's greatest villains, Randall Flagg, but at the time King only had simple questions on his mind: Where was this man going? What had he seen and done? What terrible things...?
