Morning Glories Hardcover Delayed

When your business is printing text and images on pages, a printing error is pretty unwanted. They can be worked around though, just as Image Comics and Shadowline are doing with the upcoming Morning Glories HC Vol. 1.

Originally slated to hit stores November 30, the book was pulled from shipments due to a printing error in the Nick Spenser and Joe Eisma smash hit. Image is working with the publisher to fix the error and expedite the shipment, hoping to get it back in stores by the end of December.

Fans have a full course load of extras to look forward to in this gorgeous deluxe collection that no collector or fan of the series will want to be without it. The HC collects the first twelve issues of the story, plus every cover by Rodin Esquejo. There's also a foreword by Damon Lindelof and sketches and character studies from Esquejo and Eisma.

In the meantime, both trade paperback volumes are available for retailers to reorder and the next issue, Morning Glories #15 will be on sale December 21. The entire series is also available to purchase day-and-date from Image Comics' digital partners.

The 400-page hardcover will set you back $39.99 when it's all fixed. Full press release after the jump.
