253 covers of one issue of a comic?!!! That's nuts!

The "winner" so far! As noted, it's quite an oddity because the majority of those editions were published across an atypical span of time.

The distributor has posted the six versions of #4

Thanks! I'm collecting all of the Creature cover images.

Got my Creature #1 A&B, today and ordered the A&B for #4, so I'm done. I'm going to wait till I get them all before I read them. Interior art looks great! They show the first six covers on the back cover(s).

Awesome! I'm looking forward to checking the book out as soon as I get home.

I have a question for the more knowledgeable ones here. I received what was purported to be the Issue 1 1:100 incentive cover by Ross. It is supposed to be "foil" cover I believe. This picture Mike posted looked like it would have some reflective coloration in it. This definitely does not. It's gray. Maybe kind of glossy but not really. I do not yet have the 1:75 incentive cover to compare it to.

Are the foil covers supposed to be more reflective/colorful?

[darkmonkeygod]

I'll see all of mine tomorrow and should be able to compare them, but foil covers are generally a bit shiny / iridescent. That said, the one on eBay with the rainbow coloring is just a photoshop job by the seller to differentiate it from the 1:75 version, not an actual photo.

Is there anything printed on the inside of the front cover?

[Mike Scott]

That said, the one on eBay with the rainbow coloring is just a photoshop job by the seller to differentiate it from the 1:75 version, not an actual photo.

Should have known better! I thought they were just using the same photo for both, because they didn't have the real thing to photograph. I'll delete that fake photo.

[darkmonkeygod]

I wasn't able to make it by the shop today, but I will tomorrow.

Bit of a puff piece, but the first review I've seen for Creature.

Whaaaaaat?!? Even MORE covers?!? I shouldn't be surprised but... damn.

[darkmonkeygod]

Picked up my copies of #1 today, I'll get a photo of them up later, but at a glance it's difficult to tell the 1:75 and 1:100 apart.

The Alex Ross Art .com edition went up for sale yesterday and it looks like the $100 and $200 copies have sold out!

[Mike Scott]

Whaaaaaat?!? Even MORE covers?!?

This is crazy! This is crazy! This is crazy!
