Prophet #1 Facsimile edition has new(ish) variant covers? 0

[Juno Beach]

At least six new covers (some are reused covers from later comics) including a blank cover. Do they not understand the meaning of 'Facsimile'?

Marvel has already done this as well.

Is this topic about 1993 Prophet #1 from Image? If so, what is the point of printing a facsimile issue when the original is still readily available for about fifty cents?

Holy . Words have no meaning anymore. Which book (or books)?

Yup, that's the one. Makes it even odder.

Thanks, my google-fu was weak. I found another for ASM 238 blank cover but I think it's a store exclusive so I won't count it.

NGL, I bought the Sam Keith variant because I have no concept of the value of a dollar.

These might be the weirdest, least explicable reprints I've ever seen, and given some of the things I collect, that's a high bar to clear.

Well, there's nothing wrong with the cover, especially if you are a fan of Keith. But why in heaven's name are they calling it a facsimile???

I have no concept of what comics are anymore, which is why I stick to my original 90s drek
