[Mike Scott]

That's a pre-order, yes?

Says delivery Feb 20 - 27. (No, it doesn't. Says 4/24.)

The book isn't slated to ship until April. I'm not even sure it has been fully solicited to wholesale as yet, though I did see something about an Ales Ross cover.

Here's a gallery of the six covers being issued for #1, which has an on sale date of 20 April, '24.

I'm gonna have to stop at two!    And only one each of the 3 other issues.

Oops! I was looking at the wrong date. It does say 4/24.

I just bought the two cover set from EBay as well. Thanks Mike for pointing out that the comic was available for order. I like these two covers the best out of the six variants. I think the Alex Ross version was issued as one of the UM Creature cards from that collection. Is that correct?

Do you mean this set? If so, then no.

I believe it's the pencil study for the painted print set Ross produced. Those paintings were also used on the steelbook blu-ray releases. If it was released as another product, I'm unfamiliar with it, but would love to know!

[Rex fury]

You're right! It's not part of that set. I could swear I've seen the image before though? I'm racking my brain to think of where it might have been. If I can't figure it out it looks like I'll be buying a few more Creature 1's 😵‍💫

Here's that steelbook.

[Rex fury]

Yes, I think that's it! I'd forgotten all about those Steelbook releases!

This question comes from the perspective of someone who (until yesterday) had never purchased a comic book in his life. I purchased the standard cover of all 4 issues of Dracula and then the  Creature covers A, B & C on eBay yesterday (preorder).

How would I go about purchasing the remaining 3 cover designs for the first Creature  issue? Are they limited and only available certain places? Will they be available closer to the actual release date?

Thank you in advance for any education of my ignorance.

This is the part where I get labeled the "crotchety old purist", I suppose.

Here goes: I didn't like Dracula , and I don't like the preview pages for Creechie . They don't "fit" the classic flick.

Kudos to all who will purchase and enjoy. The only time I have felt adding to the Universal Monsters Classic Universe actually worked out was the novel "Return of the Wolfman" by Jeff Rovin. If that would've been adapted into a comic, it would've been amazing.

Maybe these things will find their legs. I am dreading their take on the Wolfman.

"Return of the Wolfman" by Jeff Rovin. If that would've been adapted into a comic, it would've been amazing.

I very much agree. But I bought these comics all the same. Having no knowledge at all about the storyline of these comics I just hope they aren't weird or pervy.
