Although Diamond didn't list Archetype as a Feb. 4 release, it DID reach comic shops that day. I bought a copy at my local shop, and it's a GREAT book!

This book is called Volume 2. Is there a Volume 1?

Joe, the first book collecting TB's art is called MAXIMUM BLACK. It doesn't have "Volume 1" as part of the title, but it IS the forerunner to ARCHETYPE.

MAXIMUM BLACK is available through the Online Sales link in the left nav, among other places.

Most definitely one of the coollest collections of art in the world. You inspire me, and you're amazing Tim. Keep doing what you're doing.

I'm a French fan, your work is amazing. I'm a young colorist and your stuff inspire me a lot.

Thanks
