Artist's Edition is an award-winning line of hardcover comic reprint books published by IDW Publishing and edited by Scott Dunbier.

Each page in an Artist's Edition is printed the same size as the original art board, and where possible each page is scanned from the orginal art. While appearing to be in black and white, each page is scanned in color to show corrections and blue pencils.

Artist's Edition Portfolios
An Artist's Edition Portfolio contains loose pages, printed on one side only, collected in a hardcover folder. Like the regular Artist Edition books, the pages are printed at the same size as the original artwork.
