It is requested that an image be included in this article to improve its quality, if possible. This image request is for variant covers, especially ones with metallic ink. |
Need low-res shots of different variant covers of same issue, preferably including one of these nicer ones with metallic ink described in the article.
[edit] TV Guide
TV Guide had variant covers before Dawson's Creek. I very distinctly remember a set of variants for The Simpsons that, when combined, formed a larger picture. Ekchuah 07:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- Also, they've sometimes done a special cover for areas where a major event is happening - I remember being in Kentucky for the Derby and being confused by the different cover. Gotta go find a source for that now... -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 15:58, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm looking too. I wrote that part a while back because I thought I remembered it being recognized as the first time, but it does need to be cited. Much of this article does, actually.--Chris Griswold 20:12, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Additions
I added a section for Avatar Press, fixed a tag, and added a break/new section for Outside of Comics. I don't know how to make the little 1/2 symbol, so I'd appreciate it if somebody could fix that for me. Ekchuah 11:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

- I'm not sure how it's POV. Most of their comics ship with numerous variant covers. There's now a link to their August solicitations page, where Stargate Atlantis: Wraithfall and Lady Death: Blacklands are solicited. Each have the number of alternates stated. I could also add Aspen MLT for current regular uses of variant covers. Ekchuah 14:47, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
