No, you’re not looking at an old post. Today we’re going talk about variant covers and, speaking of which, have you spotted what makes this a variant cover? That’s right, the Whitman logo. Now, normally, variant covers can be kind of cool. More often than not, they sport an exciting new image by an impressive creator. Before the Internet became what it is today, variants seemed like a pretty cool thing and I certainly bought one or two myself just because I liked that cover image. Nowadays, with the Internet the way it is, I can usually pull up that same image without having to pay $25 at my LCS. I can see the image anytime I want and I’m no longer sure what the appeal of having a book just for its cover is. And that’s always been the case of the Whitman variants for me. Internet or no, these comics feature the same cover as the standard issue, but with a Whitman logo in place of DC or Marvel or Gold Key or whatever. Yeah, I guess they’re a little more rare, but, seriously, how much does it improve your life to have two comics in your collection that are exactly the same except for the corner logo, let alone to have to pay a premium for the Whitman one? Wait a minute. Now that I think about it, that logo is pretty cute… I retract my argument entirely!
