First foil cover ever?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, Overstreet lists it as the first hologram cover too. I never noticed it before. Thanks for sharing.

Here are my fav's

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's something about that Hooter girl that I like

[whetteon]

[Bosco685]

 

I still like this book because of the Action Comics 1 theme. And it looks fantastic with the design used for this cover.

[whetteon]

I thought the Wildcats gold was sweet and I so want a Venom 0 platinum.

[TheAmazing R.J.S.]

You chose wisely my friend this copy happens to be the very rare gold variant ! Unlike the Silver copy, not to many of these bad boys made it to any of the LCS. Got lucky on finding this one in a flea market that I go to I was shocked to see it for a buck the seller had no clue on what he had, these gold copies are not even listed in any of the Overstreet price guide ! So far this is the only gold Prime #1 that I've ever seen

Here are my fav's

 

 

I love the platinum Venom. I need to get a copy of this.

 

What's that thing with Venom's face on it? I translated it and it says: the phone number of my enemies.

[TheAmazing R.J.S.]

These two books are Italian when the comic came out it was shrink wrapped with this little book in it. I bought these about a year ago try going to Italian ebay you might get lucky Let me know how it goes & Good Luck (thumbs u

[fastballspecial]

Personally the Malibu Ultraverse Mirror Covers are my personal favorite.

 

[dgarthwaite-migration]

Raise your hands if you bought all 4 covers of X-Men #1 as well as the version with the gate-fold cover.

 

I bought only the one with the bar code. I figured it would be the rarest.

I think it's the hooters

 

 

It was recalled the day it came out. I have some of the regular cover, but never acquired a foil version. I like hooters, but I'm not wild about the restaurant.
