Limited to only 1,000 copies produced, this stunning DC Comics Variant Covers: The Complete Visual History is itself a variant cover (with art by Frank Cho and is a Previews Exclusive, available only to comic speciality stores). It is the only version of this book available in hardcover format and it is an oversized 11 by 14 inches.
Best of all, it is signed by hand by an incredible 74 contributing comic creators, including (in order from the beginning of the book to its end): Tony Daniel, John Byrne (artist of the very first marketed variant cover, Man of Steel #1), Dan Jurgens, Brett Breeding, Kevin Maguire, Ron Frenz, Jim Lee, Ethan Van Sciver, Shane Davis, Joe Corroey, Adam Hughes, David Mack, Gene Ha, P. Craig Russell, Dustin Nguyen, Mark Buckingham, Stanley Artgerm Lau, Howard Chaykin, Tommy Lee Edwards, J.G. Jones, Serrgio Aragones, Tom Richmond, Mike Allred, Laura Allred, Ant Lucia, Ben Caldwell, Stephan Roux, Karl Kerschl, Jock, Kevin Nowlan, Pat Gleason, Bill Sienkiewicz, Terry Dodson, Joe Quinones, Evan "Doc" Shaner, Tony Harris, Dave Johnson, Craig Rousseau, Sean Galloway, Robbi Rodriguez, Cully Hamner, Michael Golden, John Romita Jr., Scott Hanna, Tyler Kirkham, Matt Wagner (who also drew an original art sketch of the Joker similar to his variant cover), Klaus Janson, Nick Dragotta, Jerome Opena, Aaron Lopresti, Derec Donovan, Scott Williams, Alex Sinclair, Babs Tarr, Laura Martin, Frank Cho, Tim Sale, Ken Lashley, Jill Thompson, Carlos D'Anda, Jae Lee, David Finch, Chris Burnham, Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Paul Mounts, Aaron Kuder, Scott Hepburn, Mike McKone, Joe Prado, Rico Renzi, Yanick Paquette, Cliff Chiang, and Catt Staggs.
Please note- the signatures are real. They are the actual, hand-signed signatures of the comic creators stated. They are not pre- printed images in the book. Images are of the actual book and the signatures (being limited to only 24 images, I've had to photoshop multiple pages into single images for most of the above so they would all be available to view). The book is in excellent condition with only some minor wear to the dust jacket. It will be shipped with the utmost care.
Excepting pack-pulled autograph trading cards, CGC Signature Series, signed Sideshow prints, and like collectibles, all autographed items Vault Collectibles sells were personally witnessed, by myself, being signed by the writer, artist, or celebrity in question. No third party is involved. Further, art sketches - and most published original art I sell - were obtained directly from the artist themselves.
