It is 499. Sometimes extra prints are made solely for the publisher to distribute personally, have the artist sign (artist proofs), or use as test runs...etc.

HUGE Turner fan for nearly 22 years here. I live Turner. At any rate, great feet observation!! ? But don't get Turner wrong, this man drew the whole anatomy with no problems. I would LOVE to have a published OA, but the price is way too much for my means. I just have an original quick sketch of Aspen and nearly *** of his covers. Very impressed with what some collectors have obtained of his OA.

Gosh dang...and worth every penny. Very nice!! Wasn't this beauty floating around on eBay recently?

What they are implying, along with other collectors that are realists, is that this is no new image. It is outright a reprinted image. This book has created an unbelievable hype to which I could never wrap my head around. It's value is only based on hype. I'll buy one for $75 max and that's pushing it. I drop $25 before shipping and can get about 15 of Splitter Witchblade variants in NM shape. The German reprints are low grade on some and overall just re-used work. Don't get me wrong, it is by every right a variant, but a couple grand for something we've already seen is ludicrous. My favorite German cover to date is the Witchblade #15 Buchhandels-Ausgabe (Book Trade Edition) variant. Have one signed by D-tron that matches the poster of the same image signed by Turner, topped off with the book it was originally published in signed by Turner, Benitez and Haberlin. ??
