The other book pictured, the Barefoot Serpent, is the book that actually inpsired Oni to produce the Soulwind hardcover. It's from Top Shelf, is limited to 300 copies, and is still available from the publisher.

Hardcovers You Probably Didn't Know Existed Part 4
Every once in a while you just happen to be in the right place at the right time. That's how I discovered that Oni Press' Souldwind hardcover would be offered exclusively through Coldcut distribution. They sell to retailers like Diamond does, but none of my local retailers had accounts. So I made a couple of calls and soon one was on its way. The book was extremely limited, is now out of print, and commands nearly triple its issue price if you can find one on ebay.

If you like Oni press, you should check out Greg Rucka's "Queen and Country". Spy stuff at it's best! I've been reading the trade paperbacks, but they did make some in hardcover. Such as this one:

Also, "Maintenance" is hilarious! They haven't printed any hardcovers, but it's still a blast!
Let's see some new posts from you!
