Variant Comics from then ‘till now – part 3!

by Hal Hickey

In Part 1, we explored the first series of variant comics, the price variants. In part 2, we looked at what hooked collectors on finding those rare comic price variants, some 50 years after the original price variants were printed. There is one last category of price variant comics and that is the “Canadian Newsstand” or “Pence” (UK Newsstand) price variants. There has been considerable debate whether these are in fact variants, or just comics that were produced in other countries, which naturally carried a price in that foreign country’s currency. The view on the “Canadian Newsstand” and “Pence” price variants is beginning to sway to the view that these in fact are actual comic price variants. The reason being is that these comic books were produced and printed side-by-side with the regular priced versions in the United States for sales in either Canada or the UK. These are now being considered price variants and their print numbers are in the 10% or less range when compared to their US priced regular priced comics. The majority of these price variants were printed from the mid-late 1980s, but there are earlier instances of Canadian newsstand price variant comics printed by Gold Key.

Here is an example of the regular version and it’s Canadian Newsstand price variant with one of the rare Charlton variants! Continue reading

Robert Kirkman’s Outcast has moved into TV series pre-production

Robert Kirkman‘s The Walking Dead has been a steam roller of popularity, perhaps the most successful marriage between the comic book and television mediums. Kirkman’s newest comic series “Outcast”, penciled by Paul Azaceta sold through issue #1 last month with great anticipation of another hit, and perhaps another good investment in comics! Outcast will not be about zombies and will instead focus on Demons!

Kirkman has written the Outcast pilot for Cinemax and will serve as executive producer, as he has for AMC’s The Walking Dead. It is quite incredible that what started with creators at Image Comics in the early 1990’s moving to have control and creator rights over their characters, has evolved to this. A comic book creator, selling the rights to his/her creation to a studio and, keeping creative control over the production to boot!

The original creators of Image Comics should take a well deserved bow for being the pioneers that lead to this.

Fathom #9 by Michael Turner: All-time favorite comic covers

Michael Turner had a short but spectacular career in comic, cut short by his death in 2008. But from 1995, up until he left us, he was prolific. With his co-creation of Witchblade for Top Cow Comics in 1995, comic fans delighted with Turner’s mastery of the human form and especially his artistry with the female form. His cover art was spectacular and, dozens of his cover images would be no stranger in anyone’s all-time favorite comic book covers. Continue reading
