Re: Scarab Figure Question
WED, 7/10/02, 2:29 p.m. - In Response To: Scarab Figure Question (VF-1Guy)

Will the Scarab figure from Diamond be the same scale as the Moore Kabuki figures?

A lot of people have just started reading Kabuki from the collected volumes. They missed the original individual issues.

There are plans in the works to have a HUGE book that presents each and every Kabuki cover from every Kabuki related book EVER printed. It will print the art with out the logos, and it will also have the original sketches and preliminary drawings for each of the covers with comentary.

I get a lot of requests for a book like this.
I't's going to be a lot of work to put together, but I'm looking forward to it. So far I've just been calling it the KABUKI COVER GALLERY. Other suggestions are KABUKI COVER ART BOOK, or the KABUKI ART BOOK.

If any one has additional title suggestions, I'd like to hear them.

Thanks!

Is there any compilation or plans for such, that would bring together the cover art for every Kabuki comic from all the publishers?

Stuff like this is a big help for people searching for my books! I really appreciate it.

I've noticed some people are having difficulty finding some of the Kabuki comics & trades. I have emailed a couple of them and I'm posting a copy of that email in case this info is useful to anyone else: (although, I feel like a bit of a heel advertising like this; I'm just trying to get Kabuki into the hands of as many people as possible.

<<<Hey - -

I saw your post & wanted to help out. I own a comic store in PA and carry everything David Mack does -- he's a genius! (I had the pleasure of meeting him again at the Wizard World comic convention in Philly and he did a nice sketch for me even though his hand was injured. Whatta guy.)

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself & let you know that I can assist you in your quest -- believe me, it's worth it to track down these gems. As far as content goes, it looks like the hardcovers are the way to go for the most extras, like pinups, pics, & behind-the-scenes stuff. Unfortunately, they are more expensive than the trade paperbacks.

Here's a list of the books that either I have presently in stock or can get within a week:
KABUKI REFLECTIONS #1 4.95
KABUKI REFLECTIONS #2 4.95
KABUKI REFLECTIONS #4 4.95
KABUKI VOL 1 CIRCLE OF BLOOD S&N HC 49.95
KABUKI VOL 1 CIRCLE OF BLOOD TP 19.95
KABUKI VOL 2 DREAMS HC 24.95
KABUKI VOL 3 MASKS OF NOH HC 19.95
KABUKI VOL 3 MASKS OF NOH TP 12.95
KABUKI VOL 4 SKIN DEEP HC 23.95
KABUKI VOL 4 SKIN DEEP S&N HC 39.95
KABUKI VOL 4 SKIN DEEP TP 12.95
KABUKI VOL 5 METAMORPHOSIS HC 49.95
KABUKI VOL 5 METAMORPHOSIS S&N HC 79.95
KABUKI VOL 5 METAMORPHOSIS TP 24.95
KABUKI VOL 6 SCARAB HC 29.95
KABUKI VOL 6 SCARAB S&N HC 59.95

I also have a ton of single issues as well as misc. merchandise like the Kabuki statue, bust, t-shirts, etc.

If you would like additional info on these volumes or have absolutely any other questions about DM's available work, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Take care,

Well, there it is. If anyone wants to blast me for being a capitalist pig, let 'er rip. But I honestly think it's a shame for anyone to go without this stuff; it's too damn good.

Hello, Ryan, Resonance, and everyone else who is looking for some help and info on how to get the Kabuki books and what order they come in...

All I want to know is:
1) First, I want the books with the most. This means, most pages, containing extra artwork, story, whatever. This most likely means the most recent reprints, like that which I've seen for Skin deep that just came out a couple days ago. Is it better than to get the TPB or to get the books seperately?

Now all of the collected volumes have thier order of reading on the spine in the form of a volume #. There are 6 collected volumes so far. So you easily know which one comes first.

Also, in each and every collection, and each and every individual Kabuki issue, there is a checklist that lists for you all of the Kabuki books in their order of reading (collections and individual issues).

The checklist also enables to you order something directly from me, if you cannot find it anywhere else.
The Kabuki websites also list all of this information.

And your local comic shop can order for you any book that you request. They have a list of each Kabuki volume in each and every issue of the Previews catalogue that they order from.

This whole thing is giving me a headache... I just want it all in a comprehensive package. Is that too much to ask? LOL!

But if you have any specific suggestions, please let me know. I'm still trying to improve. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to make things more clear and accessable.

2) Where do I buy them. I've seen some of the books for sale, here and there but even the sale of the books is a scattered affair. Is there one site that offers the whole series for sale online?

Unfortunately, many stores only order enough to keep it in stock for a week or 2. But you should be able to ask your store, and have them offer to order everything for you at any time.

If any of this is a problem, you can order directly from the Kabuki checklist in the back of any Kabuki book or the website and get it directly.

Or just order online, by e-mailing Anh Tran at .

She can answer any of your questions and send you any Kabuki book that you want to order. And I'll be happy to sign it as well. THis offer is open to everyone with questions about the books or looking to get any books.

Thanks for seeking my books! Let us know if there are any questions.

Kindest regards,

David
