Coming this summer from IDW:
Here’s the publisher’s description:
Michael Kaluta’s career has been both diverse and extraordinary. From his origins as a fanzine artist in the 1960s, to his defining rendition of The Shadow in the 1970s, through his stint as part of the legendary art collective known simply as THE STUDIO and beyond, Kaluta has produced countless gorgeous images that never cease to enchant us. Now, for the first time, the work of Michael Wm. Kaluta is presented in an oversized, massive retrospective that showcases his beautiful art. Many of the pieces presented in this very special volume will be scanned from Kaluta’s original art to maximize the quality of printing. If you are a fan of Kaluta’s work, or a lover of fine art, then this is the book for you!

Kaluta is a terrific artist. And IDW has a reputation for publishing high-quality art books. So pre-ordering Kaluta: The Big Book is, for me, a no-brainer. YMMV.
I hesitate. I have so much Kaluta’s in different books…

I know what you mean, Li-An. But the main selling points for me, other than Kaluta’s name, are the “oversized” reproductions and the promise that many of the pieces will be scanned from the original art.

Just FYI: it is December 2015… IDW still promises to get The Big Kaluta Book out, but I can’t say when…

I will definitely post another notice when IDW re-solicits for the book, Michael. Thanks very much for the update.
