Two Surprise Covers For Tomorrow's Power Fantasy #1

Two Surprise Covers For Tomorrow's Power Fantasy #1 from Kieron Gillen, Caspar Wijngaard, Rian Hughes and Image Comics

Tomorrow sees the release of Kieron Gillen and Caspar Wijngaard 's The Power Fantasy #1 from Image Comics. They are going to do a signing at Forbidden Planet in London and everything. That's while they still have copies, it has already sold out at a distributor level. What copies are in the store, that's it, until a second printing next month or something. Kieron Gillen has already got his copies and posted them on social media.

The one on the centre right is a new variant version of the standard cover on the centre right with a more prominent Image Comics logo on the cover, something we've been seeing more of late.

I can find a copy on eBay for $4 but you'll have to make sure you get that one, not the standard one. Above that, on KIeron's photo, with a pink logo, is the original PR image for The Power Fantasy, which is now a one-per-store variant, unmentioned until now.

I can find one copy on eBay, and it's going for under $20, I expect it will have been sold within seconds of posting this article. The comic also has some mad indicia on the back. It seems that Rian Hughes has persuaded Kieron Gillen to write this kind of copy for every issue for the back cover…

"We've been striving to make this as good as we can. To find the market respond to that? It's heartening," said Gillen, about the sellout. "We can't wait to get this into as many people's hands as possible. It's an explosive book, so it's great to see it explode like this."
