And the reason FPG couldn’t share any of what Jusko wrote is?

Why couldn’t FPG tell us about scouring the globe searching for physical pieces of artwork. Instead we were fed what now seem like lies or at least half-truths about vague delays. The only possible reason I can come up with is FPG was afraid if word got out, owners of the original artwork would start demanding huge amounts of money. I’d love to know more about the search. It would honestly make for an interesting documentary, in my opinion.

I sort of remember reading something about artwork scans going missing but it definitely wasn’t clearly and widely shared by FPG.

It’s honestly infuriating to find out there was a legitimate reason for the delays. Two reasons if we count the printer or printers in the United States that reportedly went bankrupt, forcing FPG to find an overseas printer. But we only know that because of random comments left by FPG.

I also find it wildly unprofessional that the Kickstarter campaign was launched before FPG had secured the art scans. You don’t make promises to backers without knowing you can deliver. It’s too bad whoever assured FPG the art scans existed was wrong but FPG should’ve found that out before asking backers for money.

I plan on enjoying the heck out of the book when it arrives but that enjoyment will always be tinged with memories of frustration and annoyance.

I swear I’m not usually this bitter and cynical. I had too much time on my hands at just the wrong moment and this post is the result.

Edit: HiltonL posted while I was writing up my diatribe. I see I’m not the only one wondering why we didn’t hear about this from FPG and much earlier.
