Batman 608 thru 619 Hush - all covers and variants, including newsstand copies 1 1

[Cpt Kirk]

For you viewing pleasure, I have uploaded all the covers (both direct and newsstand) as well as variant covers for the Hush storyline. I thought it would be kind of neat to see them all together. You can view them all on my photobucket page by going to the following link:

Well I have one to add to your list.  Now this one I need any info that people have. I have a newstand copy that came through direct sales and was "stickered" with a direct sales label.  Anyone ever seen that??

nope!     

The challenge is now on to find a second one, so that we will know that this is truly a variant.

I have 6 (guess I should explain.. I got these from the comic distributors when I had a shop, we never put them on the shelf I guess due to the fact that they had 'stickers' on them.. but I did end up with 2nd prints.. so im guessing that we just boxed them to see what the heck the deal was and never did anything with them.... they came out of the Atlanta Diamond Comic Distributor, so if others got there books from there.. they have the potential to have received these as well but not sure if they were "Original order's" or replacements, or reorders or ??)

challenge accepted and accomplished.   I found this one on ebay... it was a qualified (green label) CGC 9.6.   It was from a source different from Comixdlr.

The qualified label was simply because this comic book had a sticker on it.  Based on info form Comixdlr, it sounds like Diamond might have been short on direct sales copies, so they put stickers on some newsstand issues to ship to dealers.   I wonder how many collectors noticed the stickers, and I wonder how many were annoyed by the stickers.

Red cover is the main cover. The blue is the "hero" gatefold cover, and then there's also a "villain" gatefold cover, as well as a 2nd print that features the Riddler playing chess with the characters.
