Taskmaster #3 Taegukgi Variant References Captain Marvel #17 2nd Print
Two comic book retailers familiar to Bleeding Cool readers are Ssalefish Comics of North Carolina and Wonderworld Comics of Michigan have created a joint retailer exclusive variant cover of the second printing of Taskmaster #3 from Marvel Comics, the issue that featured the first appearance of South Korea's equivalent of Captain America, Taegukgi. Which has seen them putting him on the cover, drawn by Will Sliney, as a homage to the Captain Marvel #17 second-printing by Adrian Alphona that featured the first cover appearance of Pakistani-American superhero, Ms Marvel, which has becomes a collectors item in its own right, especially after the news of the upcoming live TV Marvel series for later in the year.
Both retailers, Bret Parks and Dennis Barger, have Korean heritage in their family and will be splitting the 3000 print run of this retailer exclusive cover between the two stores. Preorders have started now on each of their sites, the book is scheduled to ship on the 24th of March 2021 and the cost, is $19.45 each or from Salesfish for $35 which will include the first printing as well. Both stores will be selling the comic book while stocks last, with 1500 copies each.
Initially, when first published, the first printing jumped up to $15 on eBay with ease. Since then the 1:25 variant cover has sold for $230, with the standard cover selling for up to $40, though it has calmed down a little since. Taskmaster #4 will now be published on the 10th of March.
