Someone in the greater Austin area was sold off some Lansdale, so I made a bulk purchase from him at a very modest price. This is what’s going in my own library, but I’ll also have several items in the next Lame Excuse Books catalog.
Lansdale, Joe R. Hoodoo Harry. The Mysterious Bookshop, 2016. First edition paperback original (simultaneous with the hardback edition), a Fine- copy that’s slightly flared, otherwise new and unread. Supplements a hardback lettered edition and another copy of this that’s inscribed to me by Lansdale, but the cover of which has started delaminating. Isajanko, C20.iii.
Lansdale, Joe R. (writer), Sam Keith (artist). 30 Days of Night: Night Again. IDW, 2011. First edition graphic novel (“14 13 12 11 1 2 3 4” on copyright page), trade paperback format (preceded by four individual comic issues), a Fine- copy with slight wear at points. Spinoff graphic novel based on the 2007 vampire movie. Isajanko, 205.
Lansdale, Joe R. (story), Mark Alan Miller (script) and Piotr Kowalski (art). The Steam Man. Dark Horse Comics, 2016. First edition graphic novel (“First Edition: July 2016” and “10987654321” on copyright page), trade paperback format (preceded by five individual comic issues), a Near Fine copy with what appears to be a red remainder mark across the heel (without that it would be Fine- with slight wear at points). Graphic novel based on “The Steam Man of the Prairie and the Dark Rider Get Down.” Isajanko, page 219.
Lansdale, Joe R. (source), Jussi Piironen (writer and illustrator). Hap and Leonard: Savage Season. IDW, 2017. First edition trade paperback original graphic novel (“20 19 18 17 1 2 3 4” numberline), a Fine copy. Isajanko, page 210. Supplements my copy of the SST signed, limited edition hardback.
Lansdale, Joe R. (writer) and Timothy Truman (artist). The Lone Ranger and Tonto: It Crawls Part One of Four. Topps Comics, 1994. First edition comic book (“First Printing” stated), a Fine- copy with trace of wear to points (I know comics get rated on a 0-10.0 scale, but since I couldn’t remotely tell you the difference between a 9.3 and a 9.4, I’m not going to do this). Isajanko, page 212 (ditto all other issues listed below).

All those, plus a few extra items that will be in the next Lame Excuse Books catalog, were $59.
I hadn’t been planning on picking up individual comic issues of Lansdale’s work, but if I have a chance to pick up complete runs cheap, I’m going to take advantage of it, so I guess I am now…
