From the publisher:

We are pleased to announce two very special hard cover limited signed editions of Illustrators issue 39. Each edition is limited to just 120 copies of which only 100 will be for sale to the public.

This is the Special Hard cover edition with a Paul Kirchner variant cover plus an extra-illustrated bookplate signed by Kirchner.

We meet head on with the surrealistic comics of Paul Kirchner who tells us about his years in New York, assisting Wally Wood, being at Neal Adam's Manhattan Art Studio, and working for some disreputable publishers.

We meet Gary Gianni, a modern master whose work still seems to emanate from the Golden Age of Illustration. From Solomon Kane to The Shadow, Prince Valiant to The Game of Thrones, we celebrate this amazing versatile artist.

Finally we rediscover the endearing and enduring British comic strip Flook and its artist Wally Fawkes, better known as Trog.
