Stephen King’s ‘IT’ Gets Special Treatment with Folio Society Release

Share
Stephen King’s IT, first published in 1986, is perhaps one of his most iconic horror novels.  The Folio Society is now publishing a special limited edition illustration edition of the classic, featuring art by Jim Burns and with a special introduction from Guillermo Del Toro.  The book runs $825 for the purchase price and is available exclusively from:  https://www.foliosociety.com/usa/fiction/comics-graphic-novels.
The Folio Society edition will be limited to just 500 copies, and included 11 double-page black-and-white illustrations, along with 6 double-page color illustrations as well. The box, binding, and end paper was designed by David Curtis. The edition is bound in leather with printed edges, contained in a clamshell box.  Look out for special instructions on how to make Georgie’s paper boat.

“IT speaks of the struggle that never ends, the eternal vigil against evil that is, by necessity, cyclical. The many shapes the cosmic dread takes keep changing: sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning at us,” said Guillermo Del Toro in his deeply personal introduction. “IT was a presage of what was to come in adult years — it struck great fear in me — irrational fear and then, slowly, a fragile kind of bravery — the tenuous understanding that when all is said and done, all we have is each other.”

“Jim Burns’ illustrations reveal all the terror and mystery of IT, one of the truly great horror stories of the modern age — and Guillermo del Toro’s personal introduction reveals why this is one of his must-read books, a book that has grown bigger than itself and now infuses much of our popular culture,” said Folio Society Head of Editorial James Rose. “This one-of-a-kind edition continues Folio’s commitment to publishing Stephen King’s work — and some readers might be surprised to see how much was (inevitably) missed in the adaptations. Always horrifying, always creeping closer, IT is where Pennywise began, and it remains essential for any serious fan of the genre.”
