But RECESS PIECES REANIMATED, while built on that foundation, has been so heavily revised it’s practically a new book. The script has been reworked, the ending completely changed, and almost every single page has been revised and redrawn to some degree, many greatly. Bob has a habit of reworking his older works whenever they go back to press, but this isn't merely a retouching; it is a gut renovation. More extensive than even the most extensive director’s cuts. It is because of this effort—the “REANIMATED” edition was over two years in the making—that we at Cosmic Lion Productions feel this is a special occasion. Not to mention, it’s pretty much a 20th Anniversary release (the first version having been created in 2005). Of its 94 pages, 38 are heavily redrawn, 26 are all-new, and every single page is re-lettered, with a significantly revised script and all-new word bubbles. So, not merely a “reissue,” but a complete reimagining. A “reanimation,” if you will. And we hope you will.
