I recently inquired re: the binding for the REH Slip Case, as well as the chances of a Solomon Kane mini-bust. This is the answer I received:

Hi Dana,


Thanks for the email!


The REH Chronicles Slipcase priced at 54.85 is in fact a Hard Cover product.


Unfortunately, we don't have any plans at this time to release a Solomon Kane Mini-Bust.

In the 1990s, Dark Horse published a magazine called Aliens magazine vol.2 in the UK (I don't know what vol.1 was...). It featured mostly reprints from their various Aliens series, but occasionnaly had original contents.

Does anybody knows how many issues were published? mycomicshop has 21 issues listed, milehighcomics has 25 with covers for #1-21, while atomicavenue has 22 with no cover for #22. It doesn't seem to be indexed at comics.org.
