The Unwritten: Collected Covers (2010-15)

Related to the The Unwritten posts on The 7th and Last.

The Unwritten was a comic book series created by British author Mike Carey and American artist Peter Gross. It ran for 71 issues in total, with an additional standalone comic book prequel titled Tommy Taylor and the Ship That Sank Twice (2013). I've featured all of its TPB editions on the main blog, with each edition's respective cover arts closing the posts, but I like the idea of having them all together in one place. All 72 works are by Japanese illustrator Yuko Shimizu.

'As my evangelical work, I do record herein the various events to which I bore witness during my long travels with Ōkami Amaterasu.'

Once upon a time it seemed like every cash-grabbing, whoring video game dev or publisher was producing special editions of their biggest titles that asked fans of 'Deluxe' to dig deep into their pockets to acquire.

Most included some kind of plastic figurine with little or no articulation, made for display purposes only; and that's fine as long as you know beforehand what you're getting and have the shelf space to display it.

The lazier developers didn't bother with any kind of plastic tat. They'd throw in an A5 art book with shiny paper and minimal content and figured it'd suffice.

The Ōkami Complete Works is kind of like that except it's on a bigger, grander and more beautiful scale, and the content is worth celebrating.
