LOS ANGELES 05/22/2025 — Today Skybound and Image Comics, in partnership with Scott Dunbier’s Act 4 Publishing, announced the release of two new Artist’s Editions coming in early 2026—Wally Wood’s EC Stories Artist’s Edition- EXPANDED and Mike Mignola’s Hellboy in Hell Book 2 Artist’s Edition. 

Coming February 2026, discover an all-new look at the work of the legendary Wally Wood as he helped change the face of comics forever at EC Comics, the groundbreaking publisher known for their industry leading horror, sci-fi, and suspense storytelling! 

The Wally Wood EC Stories Artist’s Edition – EXPANDED will include all 18 stories from the long out-of-print first edition, but that’s not all. An additional 10 stories will be included for the very first time, for a staggering total of 28 complete stories, and all at the same gigantic size (15 x 22 inches!) as the original art was drawn! 

Within these pages are some of Wood’s greatest artistic achievements, including his work on My World, Came the Dawn, Mars Is Heaven, Atom Bomb, Blockade, and many more! Additionally, more than a dozen classic covers by Wood are included. As an extra special bonus, the unpublished “Spawn of Venus” an EC Comics story intended for the canceled Three-Dimensional Science Fiction is included in this volume.

“Wally Wood is one of my very favorite artists and seeing his beautiful work in this unique way is an extraordinary experience,” said Scott Dunbier, “while Mike Mignola is one of the most imaginative and powerful modern masters the art form has produced in decades–it is a privilege to curate these two Incredible Artist’s Editions.” 

Then, in March 2026, dive into the second stunning half of Hellboy in Hell, issues 6-10, as well as numerous covers and story pages from multi award-winning creator Mike Mignolain this glorious, oversized Artist’s Edition! 

Mike Mignola remains one of the preeminent comics creators of the past several decades. His career was already firmly established for his outstanding work on characters like Batman, Wolverine, a myriad of beautiful covers and more… And then came Hellboy. Mignola’s iconic creation struck a meteoric chord with fans from the very start and has not abated in the 30-plus years since the character’s debut.  

“One of the best things about working with Scott Dunbier on the Act 4 books is the breadth of material that he brings to the table,” said Nachie Marsham, Senior Editor at Skybound. “Being able to bring mind-blowing stories from Wally Wood to shelves and also bringing this jaw-dropping edition of Mignola’s work really shows how amazing these books can be.”  

An Artist’s Edition is an art book disguised as a comic collection. Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible – ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special – are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn. The only better way to experience these pages is by looking at the artist’s drawing board, as they’re drawing. 

These books represent the second wave of releases from the Act 4 Publishing and Skybound partnership. The first releases in the distribution deal will be Jim Aparo’s DC Classics Artist’s Edition and Darwyn Cooke’s The Complete Spirit Connoisseur Edition, coming in September and October 2025, respectively. 

Future releases within the publishing partnership include J. Scott Campbell’s Danger Girl Artist Edition, Dave Stevens’ Covers and Stories’ Connoisseur Edition, Jason Pearson’s Body Bags Artist’s Edition, Paul Smith’s Leave It to Chance Artist’s Edition. Publishing details for these books will be announced in the coming months. 

Wally Wood’s EC Stories Artist’s Edition- EXPANDED (ISBN 978-1-5343-3514-1 | SRP $195.00) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, and at booksellers on Tuesday, February 10, 2026.  

Mike Mignola’s Hellboy in Hell Book 2 Artist’s Edition (ISBN 978-1-5343-3284-3 | SRP $150.00) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, and at booksellers on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.

Watchlist 2.0 and more!

What is Watchlist 2.0? Basically, most of us have that spreadsheet where you list out all the books you are buying, going to buy, want to buy (partially on the old watchlist right?) but that also contains more info like WHO you bought it from, how much you paid, who is shipping it, tracking number, if you received it and when, etc. As of this week you can now edit all this information on the watchlist page on the site.

This was my ultimate goal with the feature and I hope this allows the rest of you to to throw out your other spreadsheets and just use this site in place of it. If you have feedback, need to add more columns, etc drop me a line. I’m more than willing — adding the received date and price paid were actually a suggestion from a member! Also let me know if you happen to run into any buggy behavior. I’m still actually iterating on some of this stuff and pushing some changes to make the site better in general (best way to contact is Discord or the contact form on the site but I will try and check here too).

I’ve also been hard at work lately working on a bunch of new features and honestly just tightening up my horrible spaghetti code. You’ll notice at the top of the pages that feature books and such that there are now new little links for:

This Week | Next Week | This Month | Next Month | Past Months | Future Months | Reset Date Filter

These were a feature requested by a member of the site that I went ahead and implemented properly so he didn’t need to keep using a userscript but also because it was a good idea!

A few other things have been just generally improved upon (including finding a badly coded loop that when fixed made the main tables load considerably faster, woohoo). I completely recoded all the tables on the site to share code with how the watchlist was coded which gives me a lot more flexibility in the way I can choose to display data in the expand popup (and showing/hiding columns and whatnot too). My goal in the future is to start hotlinking cover images from any of the publishers using PRH (which covers Marvel and DC, the ones with buttloads of DM variants). That’s not coming RIGHT now, but I do have it on the todo list!

Additionally, which I’m very excited about, I managed to code a few things for myself to mass update release dates on books carried by Diamond and a manual process for updating books from Image at Lunar. This should make it even easier for us to keep stuff up to date which I am very happy about.
