Editor's Notes

Note

Dark Force #2 from February 2023, 2000 copies with a heavy slipcover that has a sculpted Dead Pit head you can feel in the dark. The 4K scan with new color correction is the kind of jump from Blu-ray you only get with low-budget 80s horror that nobody had ever scanned right. Glow slipcover is long gone, copies on the secondary market climb.
