Upcoming Ditko - Creeper hardcover

DC has scheduled the long-anticipated reprint of Ditko's Creeper material as a colour hardcover coming out in February 2010.  It's pretty much all of Ditko's stuff with the character (plus some art by others at the end of the original series), except for the unpublished issue of SHOWCASE which was only released as part of the photocopied package CANCELLED COMIC CAVALCADE #2. Other than that lapse (and it's not too late to change your mind on that, DC) it looks like a pretty good package.

[Update, it seems DC did see the light, the issue will include the CCC #2 / "Showcase #106" issue, in black and white, so the book will be 288 pages at the same price]
