Article Summary

CGC unveils its first exclusive variant comic, Superman #680, debuting at San Diego Comic-Con 2025.
The limited edition features a brand-new Krypto cover by acclaimed artist Dan Mora, only at SDCC.
Collectors can obtain the variant by making a grading submission at CGC booths #901 or #4315 during SDCC.
Only 3,000 ungraded copies will be distributed, each eligible for a special "one of 3,000" CGC label.

CGC will have its very first CGC variant cover comic book available at this month's San Diego Comic-Con. It will be a new variant of the 2008 DC comic book Superman #80 by James Robinson, Jose Wilson Magalhaes and Renato Guedes that featured the 21st-century return of Krypto to the Superman comic books. And with a new cover by Justice League, Transformers and Absolute Power artist Dan Mora. Buyers can, if they wish, get their comic graded and slabbed there and then, by submitting to CGC directly at booths #901 and #4315 and qualifying for the new Krypto custom comic book label.
