You want low print run? You got it!!

 

I sent some books to Tnerb last year to pass along to Kaholo1256 to get signatures on them at NYCC 2014. I just now got them back, and among them is an extraordinarily rare book that I got double signed!

 

The book is Solar: Man of the Atom #1, but this copy is the Bob Layton Ultra Rare Virgin Variant Cover. They printed plenty of these with the logo title and everything else in the cover, but when it came to this virgin variant of the cover, they only printed....... 25!!!!!

 

Yes, only 25 copies of this book that look just like this exist! Now if that's not rare, I don't know what is!

 

What makes this book even better than that, is that it is now signed by Bob Layton himself and the writer of the book, Frank Barbiere. I've always been a fan of Laytons work, and I loved it back in the 90s when he was doing the early Valiant stuff.

 

Having such a rare commodity as this is a thrill to me, even more so with the sigs!

Glad you got the real deal. I've seen some sellers online selling 25 copy variants that are actually comics with higher print runs. Say like 200 copies.Still low but not as rare. I am always happy to see titles like Solar still being enjoyed today. Now you need to get the other 24.
