The Second Edition (read "Second Printing") has the following differences from the initial edition:
  • The same front cover and internal stories
  • "Midnight In The Sunken Cathedral," originally serialized between the Special & the First regular issue is published in it's entirety.
  • Michael Whelan's cover for the first regular issue, the "Cover" behind the second half of "Midnight" is published as the back-cover.
  • Overton Loyd's original back-cover art is printed as the inside front cover, although in black-in-white.
  • A new interview with Ellison, by Dark Horse editor Jaime S. Rich, is included.
  • The two illustrations by Jill Bauman, included originally as a poster insert, are published between "Midnight" and the interview
  • To address these slight differences, Ellison's dialogue is changed slightly in two places: immediately after the point where, in the first edition, the Bauman poster was inserted and in the last panel before "Midnight".
