This is a fantastic series. The art and story are both great and this slipcase set contains the complete series.

My one gripe is that the product received was not what was pictured. The black slipcase on the product page is not what is being sold here. The actual product includes a beige colored slipcase and it also appears to be taller and thinner than the item pictured. I've included a photo of what I received. It's still a high quality material and the books themselves are just fine, but being misled is worth dropping a star from my review.

Exactly as I expected. It should be noted that this item is the taller paperback version, depending on the entry on Amazon, this isn't always clear from the picture. This series is one of the best I have come across. I'm not really into comics or graphic novels, but man, Joe Hill inherited his father's gift for story telling, for those who don't know Joe Hill is the son of Stephen King. Let's not forget Rodriguez's (sorry if I misspelt that) amazing artwork which tells more than half the story. Ordinarily I would say that a graphic novel can't be scary, but to be honest there are some pretty creepy sections, which surprised me. Now I should say it gets a little gory at times, a little bloody, and might make the reader a little uncomfortable. So if that bothers you, you might not want to read these. if you have the stomach for it however, Locke & Key promises unlock your anticipation, and leave you clamoring for more!

YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE.
Probably the best comic series since Sandman.
The story is engaging, the characters are interesting, and the art has so many details that you can read it several times and always find something new. Don't go around pretending you like comics and graphic novels if you haven't read this. This is a MUST READ!
I originally read these from my local library, they had the nice hard-cover editions. I had to own it. So I bought this set and it's just as good. Has all the same special features as the hard cover set, the case is sturdy and protects the books. It's a nifty set and the price is GREAT!
Get it.
