Hi and welcome :smile2:

I'm hoping that a hard cover of The Stand will be released. Don't see why not, but I guess we'll see.

Oh no, by "this month" I meant February 2009, which is when the above mentioned Dark Tower comic go on sale. There are no new Stand comics going on sale in February 2009.

I have Treachery #6, but has Guide to Gilead ever shipped? I never saw it in the Release Log and heard it was delayed . . .

I can't wait!

I love the graphic novels. I've gotten the trades for them so far so they're all hardback and gorgeous. Takes a lot of patience though. I think it would be awesome to have Needful Things in graphic novel form!

But the hardcover trades leave out all of the Robin Furth back-up stories and the supplemental guidebooks, don't they?
