A while back I bought the Morning Glories Deluxe Collection a very nice hardcover edition of this excellent series. If you aren't reading it, you really should be.
Thus, I have a fairly uncommon edition of the story. Well, at least of the first two arcs.
Recently, my LCS (Bedrock City Comic Company) arranged for the artist, Joe Eisma, to have a signing at their Westheimer store.
I knew I wanted him to do something, but couldn't find an idea. When Joe saw the book, he said he'd put a free head sketch in it since I bought this particular edition. Bingo! I had an idea. Each issue had a basically blank page in front of it and Joe agreed to draw a head sketch on each of those pages.
So, now, I have what is probably the only signed and illuminated copy of the story! :)
However, that's not the end of the tale. It seems that I have an unusual print. I have one of the very rare misprinted editions. On the last page of Chapter/Issue Six, the dialog (Call me Jade,) is missing. The books were supposed to have been sent back, but this one was saved from pulping.
The main image shows the twelve head shots. In the Additional Images section, you see some of the individual images plus a picture of Joe with the the book. Here's the list in this volume:
01) Casey
02) Ike
03) (young) Jade
04) Hunter
05) Jun
06) Zoe
07) Ms. Daramount
08) Mr. Gribbs
09) Ms. Hodge
10) David
11) Pamela
12) Abraham
Let me know if you think I enhanced or decreased the value of this book. :)
