Marvel Comics has announced a new die-cut cover to launch JJ Abrams', Henry Abrams' and Sara Pichelli's new launch title Spider-Man #1. Designed by Chip Kidd, Marvel Comics' Spider-Man #1 Variant by Chip Kidd will now be a die-cut cover, at no additional cost to retailers.

The front cover is red, the centre of Spider-Man's eye cut out to show the spider below, which opens to show the spider and credits.

Marvel says that Chip Kidd's intention was to produce something that looked handmade — the way Peter made his first costume.

All orders from comic book stores have to be made by 10am ET… so if you want one, do tell your comic book store. The FOC for all other covers on the title remains August 26th, but this one will need a little more time. The Diamond code is JUL190834.

The variant – and the other covers – will all be published on September 18th.

It will also count towards a retailers' total orders, for which ratio variants will be calculated.
