Jim Steranko,
what an amazing legacy to leave behind.
There is absolutely no doubt, that he is one of the people who changed the face of comic book art.
But these days, he is the equivalent of a human roadblock, to any publishing venture, insane enough to work with him!
The second volume, of his IDW sponsored, Artists Editions, has been pushed back, yet again, to December 2017.
Considering that the youngest pages of art, being reproduced in this volume, are almost 50 years old... one can only wonder at the holdup and attribute it to Steranko's involvement in the "design" of the book.
As Scott Dunbier says, we were actually very lucky, to get even one volume of his old works, into print!
It is my belief, that in keeping with several other Steranko projects, this volume will never see the light of day... or, if it does,
it will be published as a commemorative, after Steranko's demise.
