I noticed that this story was auctioned at Heritage Auctions in 2009. The second story we are looking for is “Green Air.” This is an 11-page story originally published in Xenozoic Tales #6 in 1988. It was originally published in Xenozoic Tales #2 from Kitchen Sink in 1987. The first story is “The Rules of the Game.” This 10-page story was inked by Steve Stiles.

If you can help us locate the art, please send me (John) an email at We would be privileged to include you in the acknowledgments page and get you a complimentary copy of the book. The following is a list of the pages needed. We are trying to find the originals to get fresh scans. (We used proofs.) The originals for two stories were let go years ago before scanning technology was available to preserve the art for future use.

In our current Xenozoic collection, there are only two stories not reproduced from the original art. I’ve seen what Mark has finished so far, and the art is stunning! I will not share a release date until the final piece is completed. We are both well aware that we said this book would be out a few years ago, but Mark didn’t realize the process he is using for the works for Storms at Sea would take as long as it has. The third book is the long talked about Storms at Sea. “Storms at Sea” was originally announced in 2008 with this promotional poster. We’ll be working on the book over the next few months and have it ready for summer 2013. Mark has created enough material to fill the first volume. We also will be adding a second gatefold to the book. We will be increasing the dimensions to 9 x 12 inches, and creating a new title and new design and look to the series. I was open, and before long we had a new series planned. He raised the importance of reinventing the series while it is doing very well for us, to keep the books fresh. Mark suggested starting a new series instead of focusing on Various Drawings Volume Six. The second book we talked about is the new Various Drawings. As a bonus, Mark is working on a new cover. We both want to continue keeping this collection in print, and we will have a new printing available by next summer.

Outside of the few dozen copies I have for direct sale from the Flesk website (a handful of which are signed by Mark Schultz and the introduction writer, Craig Elliott, at no extra charge) the book is out of stock.

The recently sold out Xenozoic complete collection is the first book we discussed. The “Xenozoic” cover for the first printing. I’ll start off talking about the books first, and then I have a request for your help to find and scan Schultz Xenozoic Tales originals for two stories. We went over the details for three books, two of which will appear in 2013. I visited with Mark Schultz a few weeks ago.
