GPKWorld was first to report on the book’s reappearance. Various book sellers, including Amazon, now show the book is scheduled for a Sept. 2, 2025 release date. The book was illustrated by Joe Simko, and the description remains unchanged from the previous listing. Collectors can preorder now for $12.99 wherever books are sold.
