Dark Horse Comics Page Count

Joined: 05 Nov 2009 Posts: 1

Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the page counts of Dark Horse's The Thing comics, so that I could determine the feasability of Dark Horse releasing a The Thing Omnibus sometime in the future. Possibly to capitalize on the anticipation of the forthcoming prequel film.

I've read a few of Dark Horse's Omnibus', but cannot recall all the page counts. The last one I read was right around 350.

There's a bit of a discrepancy on the page count of The Thing From Another World and Climate Of Fear graphic novel. The Amazon page list's it as being 168 pages, while Outpost31 list's it as being 220.
If anyone could clarify I'd appreciate it.

Then there's the 1-4 Eternal Vows series, and the Questionable Research 1-4 series (which was a subsect of Dark Horse Comics #13 through #16).
If anyone could tell me the page count of each of these series (individual or cumulative), that'd be great.

I counted 164 pages from the Thing Trade paperback (first 2 issues and Climate of fear). But the trade didn't include the original 6 painted covers from the original comics. "Eternal Vows" is probably over 80 pages (plus 4 covers) and "Questionable Research" is about 24 pages long I think (plus 1 painted cover by John Higgins). I'd have to double check the page count from my stash.

A Thing Omnibus would be great. The trade paperback had a very low print run. I wrote to them last year asking if there were plans for an Omnibus collection and one of them replied with how great that series was.

Dark Horse just brought back Aliens/Predator to comics again with Terminator coming next year. Thing comics would be a great addition to the line again. Especially for their sci-fi/horror imprints.
