Have you ever had a Virgin?

 

I figured if I label this journal as a Virgin I would catch the attention of many a nerds. !!!!!

 

But, what I'm really here to talk about are Virgin Edition comics. I'm not sure how they got the name Virgin, but Virgin comics usually come without writing or labeling on the cover. The comics are variant editions, which are usually very limited. Most of the Virgin comics I have collected or scene usually have a really cool cover. Below is a picture of one of my favorite Virgin comics, the Witchblade #54 variant edition. I sent this comic to CGC to be graded and it received an awesome 9.8 grade. Hope you got a laugh. Thanks for looking.......

The only virgin issue I have is Angel: After the Fall #1

I almost had a virgin but I stupidly let her slip away.

 

That cover is most awesome! Wow! Witchblade and Darkness looks so very cool! That is a very nice Variant there. And it's so unique not to see a Title, Issue Number, Cover Price or any of the typical comic book cover identifying markers .

 

Are Virgin comics sold at LCS's or are they special order or direct purchase from the publisher? How did you obtain yours?

 

Thanks for sharing.

Virgins are ok or at least they were back in the day. Always had to..... oh, comics...um, yeah nevermind.

 

So I have one from the Grimm's Fairy Tale line but I think thats about it. I do have to say that their are many times I wish they would use these as the Variant Covers. Most only buy variants for the cover anyways and really who in their right mind pays the premium for a 1/200 sketch just to read it. To me this should be the rightful standard of a variant comic.

 

But yeah, now, Virgins no more for the other conversation.

All comic books should be like this, pure like the freshly fallen snow. At the price we are paying I feel any and all UPC codes should fall to the wayside and be placed on the back of the cover. If I am paying four dollars for a book which includes a cover, then give me more of it.

 

Beautiful book by the way.

Totally agree with this.
