I agree there's little on the Internet about this edition, but perhaps
we can make an educated guess or two: IDW publishing is a comics/graphics
house, and a few of their titles are graphic adaptations of existing
prose fiction (e.g. Richard Matheson's I Am Legend). So maybe their
edition of the Aldiss title will be graphics enhanced or a comics
adaptation.
It's probably a reprint of the novel; IDW has started a line called
"Classics of the Fantastic," with the first title being Robert
Silverberg's _Nightwings_ (publishing today, actually).
I got a press release about _Nightwings_, but it doesn't mention what
the other books in the line will be, or their schedule. But I'll guess
that _Hothouse_ is one of them.
IDW's website (<http://www.idwpublishing.com/>) should have more
information...but doesn't.
Boy, I'll say they don't. I was about to muddy the waters with
the information that there is a comics adaptation of "Nightwings"
from DC.
However, widening the search finds a press release on Comic Book
Resources that does suggest it will be text; the line "will bring
back Hugo and Nebula Award winning books that have fallen out of
print." Finally a chance to pick up _They'd Rather Be Right_!
