Batman Hush Hardcover

HI

Does anyone know where I can find Batman Hush Vol 1 & 2 in Hardcover? Anywhere but EBAY and Half.

Besides checking out your local bookstore or comic shop, you'll be lucky to find a brand new copy of the first hardcover for Hush, as it seems to be sold out everywhere. However, you can order the second Hush hardcover from TFAW for only $19.95 (http://www3.tfaw.com/gn/profile.html?cart=5098903208843351&sku=TFAW76194123922400111). They only have one copy left in stock, so you might want to grab it before someone else does. I hope that helped.

Howdy,

Don't know if you've rushed off to buy any HCs yet, but I'd wait if I were you. Apparently, DC is going to do an "Absolute" edition of "Hush," meaning they'll collect all 12 issues into a nice oversized hardcover edition with tons of extras. Newsarama.com has preview artwork (http://www.newsarama.com/DC/Jul05/Jul_BatmanDC.htm), and Jim Lee babbles about it on his blog (http://gelatometti2.blogspot.com/2005/04/absolutely-july.html).

Of course, Absolute Editions usually run about $75, but you can usually preorder at a substantial discount on-line (G-Mart (http://www.g-mart.com/) and Discount Comic Book Service (http://www.dcbservice.com/) are my stores of choice). If you're a major fan of the work, though, the Absolute editions are worth every penny.

Besides, if the Vol. 1 HC is really out of print, you'd end up paying that much for it on eBay anyway, and only end up with half a story and no extras.
