SamPool Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Kind of surprised that there was none, maybe because they were not many.. When I was collecting moderns, I loved picking up Manara Variant covers. They where different then the stuff that put out with computers. Show them if you got them.. Also, this was release in Italy last month and probably the reason I started this thread.. Summydad1, BishopT and Bronty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summydad1 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I used to not particularly like his work but it has grown on me lately. I am in the market for a graded copy of his Uncanny x-force 5 variant with Psylocke on the cover. I will post a picture of it once I have it in hand.

There are a few on ebay now, a raw one with a decent price. I have been holding out, I am looking for a 9.8 but don't want to pay ebay tax .

Soon though hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr bla bla Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Manara is a great master. I especially enjoyed his early Guiseppe Bergman stories. SamPool and Ken Aldred 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summydad1 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Crazy coincidence story. I have always liked the uncanny x-force 5 Psylocke variant but have only looked randomly. I have known about Manara but he wasn’t firmly on my collecting radar. After this thread was started I began looking seriously for the x-force 5. I bought a raw copy on eBay yesterday and was planning on posting a picture once it came in. Today as I walked in to my LCS the owner said, “I bought a box of modern variants from a guy off the street and it had these in it. Do you know who the artist is?” I said yes and I’ll take em! Both easy NM. Cat, maidenmate91, jsilverjanet and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
