Informed Comic Book Speculation and Pop Culture News
Hey Terry who was the first company to do a action figure variant? Image with Spread or Marvel with Star Wars? Or was there someone else before them? Please let me know. Thank you
Image did one years ago for the Baltimore Comic Con for a Jae Lee book. want to say Hellshock.
anthony im trying to find that comic for info but no luck – any ideas ?
hellshock Baltimore comic con variant. Scud the disposable assassin had one years ago too.
I’m writing an article on this so appreciate any info. Spread definitely came out before Star Wars !!
I see. Thank you for the info. So since image was the first to do it, any info if they can trade mark it or make it there own like marvel has the scotty young variants and from what I can tell, no one else can use it for there book. Any thoughts on that?
Not sure if that was the first one but I remember that convention cover very well.
I love the action figure variants personally not to mention Star Wars #2 Han Solo one is doing well on eBay. Star Wars #3 Obi Wan wasn’t even available to pre order at Midtown. I managed to get two for cover but wonder if #3 will be hotter than #2
