Sign the Petition for Hard Cover Deluxe Editions of the Lucifer Graphic Novels. Let's face it, he is Machiavellian enough to make you do it.
Ever wished that you could just let the Stuffed Shirts, Fat Cats, and Powers that Be know what they are doing wrong. Well, an online petition probably isnt the best way to do that. But we arent very smart, either. Click through to sign our online petition to get Hard Cover Deluxe Editions of the Lucifer Graphic Novels.
And, just to make the bitter despair of waiting go down a bit easier, all the current, floppy Lucifer Trade Paperbacks are on sale for 20% Off. Just thought I would mention that. These ones here were my favorites.
Sympathy for the Devil
Please fill our our online petition to get Hard Cover Deluxe Editions of the Lucifer Graphic Novels.
We, the undersigned, by participating in this online petition by affixing our digital signature, wish to inform DC Comics and Warner Brothers in general, and Vertigo in specific, that we feel a injustice is taking place within the Marketing and Production departments of the above mentioned companies.
It is with great pleasure, as a fan of Vertigo titles, that we have received Hard Cover Deluxe Editions of our favorite Vertigo titles, such as Fables, Swamp Thing, and Y the Last Man, as well as the beautifully bound Absolute versions of Sandman and Death. Untold hours have been squandered as we fans have excluded such items as School, Family, and Work from our lives to instead immerse ourselves in the rich and thrilling worlds created for these stories. And now with these special versions, we have books that we can be assured will last us for years and years to come, being enjoyed many times by many generations. By extension, some Vertigo titles remain uncollected into Hard Cover formats suitable for long term collection.
The Lucifer story line centered around one of the most popular characters to reappear in the history of storytelling, Lucifer. But rather than being some poor one dimensional gag about an anti-hero out doing Good with a Bad Attitude as many would have expected in this circumstance, series writer and visionary Mike Carey weaved together a rich and complex story building on the romantic indulgences of Blake and Milton, dealing with issues such as Religion and Desire and Predestination, yet never once compromised the character of Lucifer. And as wonderful as the story was, it never would have gelled with its readers if it wasn’t for the great art consistently delivered issue after issue by such luminaries as Dean Ormstrom, Ryan Kelly, and Peter Gross.
Yet, countless numbers of Lucifer graphic novels have been destroyed by Sunlight Overexposure, Aggressive Reading, Backpack Mishaps, Children with Crayons and/or Tracing paper, and of course, Feline-based Literary Criticism. Thousands of others no doubt have been left behind on buses, run over by buses, loaned to people met on buses and never returned, or at the very least, damaged in some small way connected to a bus in some manner yet to be enumerated.
It is time for this senseless tragedy to stop. We need a Hard Cover Deluxe Edition of Lucifer and we need it right now. If you produce them, we will buy them, especially if you include extras that were never before seen or published. We are committed to doing what it takes to preserve these stories for many generations to come (unless we all die in an Ice Age before hand, or the Zombie Apocalypse happens.) In short, Ladies and Gentleman of DC Comics, and Vertigo, it is time to give the Devil his due.
Thank you.

I love the cover art by Christopher Moeller but the various solid-colour spines don't seem to look as nice as I'd like them when placed on my bookshelf... If there's gonna be a trade paperback edition, I hope the spine will be designed more stylishly... Even simply black would be nice :)
