Archaia has announced its recently completed series Days Missing will be getting the hardcover treatment in February 2010.

There are a number of extras included in the hardcover, including:

  • A foreword written by the legendary Warren Ellis, award-winning creator of graphic novels such as Fell, Ministry of Space, Planetary and Transmetropolitan.
  • A gallery featuring all 16 covers of the five issues.
  • A collectible poster on the reverse side of the dust jacket, joining together all of Frazer Irving’s complete chase covers to Days Missing.
  • Interviews with all of the writers and Roddenberry Productions’ Trevor Roth , creator of Days Missing.
  • Revelation of the secret code contained in the Days Missing logo.
  • A stat sheet of The Steward, plus a tour of his library.
  • The evolution of a comic page, from script to pencils, inks and colors.

Those interested in purchasing the hardcover can pre-order it now though Diamond and Amazon.com
