An alternate Zathras apparently left behind a copy of What The Hell Happened #4. Would assume people in that reality understand the risk of forgetting how to spell names without frequent practice on whatever paper is available. Might even get letters (? "S" and "Z" ?) mixed up if one doesn't write it down every few days.

So... what is this? I thought there were only 3 volumes, is this a spiral bound proof of content that ended up in the other books?
 
I'd have to blame Zathras (everyone blames poor Zathras) for any confusion as it was an earlier release. I believe it was 3-book, 4-book, no-:cry:-book, then 3-book. The final 3-book release is better since it includes Jason's annotations and revisiting the series could be done with greater familiarity in 2023 than in 2010. At the time had a choice of either 4-book or no-:cry:-book, so went with 4-book.

Outlines for the TM and Centauri trilogies were originally in the Crusade books before being printed in Book 2.5. Was also concept art, although the final version had other artwork since there was plenty of source material to draw upon. No JMS commentaries, but the usual formula of scripts sandwiched by introductions and extras that you'd find in the original 14 book run. Pretty close to what was in the final release.

Book three's spiral is a little worse for wear as many of the pages were bound in reverse/upside down so had to re-order things to make sense, then rewired the cover to remove some of the pressure. 😭 And book four has writing on it. 😭

You don't own this collectible, but I would say it is still a fitting place to put it.

Wait, do you own it now?!!!! 🤯 . . . . . . 😁🤪🤪🤪
 
I was reading back through this a little bit looking for something else and came across something to follow up on. Last year I was talking about a Con I was going to attend, FallCon 2024. I listed the Top 4 guests I wanted to get. Then Jan distracted me. 😁 Anyway I don’t think I ever followed up on that line of thinking with the weird way it turned out….. All of the Top 4 people I listed as wanting to get canceled with the promise to be there this year - none of them are on the guest list so far. So I did get my #5 Rebecca Holden. Also met Max Gail and Thomas F Duffy. They were all extremely nice, not too expensive, and I got to have extended interactions with all of them, especially Duffy, because the event was extremely under attended.

I have a couple of those too. If you would like to send me that one as well it would be greatly appreciated. 😋🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😁
 
It was worth a shot, but yes I already do have that one a few times over. It is definitely one of the top 20 cards of all the trading cards and not just because of the autograph. It just look great.👍
