What a thrill that they published this facsimile edition reprint of Amalgam’s Spider-Boy. I really never thought I’d see these characters again really. I hope they do more with the Amalgam universe.

Famous First Edition: First printing of 10,000 numbered copies

An exhaustive compendium of marble, Afbeelding der Marmor Soorten (A Representation of Marble Types) depicted 570 samples across 100 colour plates, accompanied by texts in five languages. Published in 1776 at the peak of the Enlightenment, it is regarded, rightly, as one of the finest illustrated scientific books of the era.Over the course of the 18th century, beautiful books that categorised, annotated, and illuminated the Enlightenment pursuit of learning across Europe had become increasingly popular. Knowledge was everything and everywhere, and these books provided it for those not wealthy enough to build their own personal collections of rare and exotic objects. Marmor Soorten, one such edition, took the standards of both aesthetics and categorisation to a whole new level.Jan Christiaan Sepp and his father Christian – himself a respected collector – had already earned a reputation for luxury publications on scientific themes, starting with Christian’s own Nederlandsche Insecten (Insects of the Netherlands). But it was his son who created the visual masterpiece Marmor Soorten, revising an existing German publication from 1775 by Adam Ludwig Wirsing. The result – published in 11 instalments to a print run of around 100 – was among the finest examples of its kind.Featuring new photography to depict the intricate details of the marble samples, this edition brings an unknown treasure back to relevance. The plates, each meticulously hand-coloured and arranged with painstaking precision, have an abstract-art feel that gives this volume an almost modern slant.This edition reproduces the pages from two copies of Marmor Soorten held at the State and University Library in Dresden and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. Reprinting the work in full for the first time, The Book of Marble brings that rare blend of beauty and encyclopedic knowledge to a wider audience.

DC Reveals Strong Reprint Strategy Despite DiDio’s Disapproval

At the SDCC Meet the DC Publishers panel on Thursday, DC co-publisher Dan DiDio expressed his dislike for Facsimile edition reprints of classic DC comics. “People are more interested in buying the stories from 30 or 40 years ago than the contemporary stories, and that’s a failure on us.”

But this isn’t stopping DC’s plans for a robust reprint strategy, which was unveiled the next day at DC’s…
