A Cover So Nice, It Was Published Twice !!!!

[NelsonAI]

Spidey vs. The Green Goblin by Patrick Scherberger.

 

This cover was originally published for the French Trade Paperback in 2012.

 

The image was recently reused as the cover to Spider-Man Spectacular # 1 in the USA.

 

Cheers!

Anyone else own a cover published more than once?

Let's see those classic covers.

 

 

 

 

[AKA Rick]

I've had covers get re-used as trading cards as well as for the collected editions (TPB)... as well as for licensed items like T-Shirts.

 

I've also had interior splash pages end up as covers (usually variant covers for 2nd printings of the book it appeared it) a few times too.

 

More fun for me is I had one of my commissions end up used as a published cover.

This Enric painting in my collection was used as the cover of both Vampirella (Warren) #58 and #97.

Le Bouffon Vert

 

What a great name for a villain!

 

"Look, up in the sky. Is it a bird . . . is it a plane?"

 

"No, it's . . . Le Bouffon Vert !"

I've got a splash that was used for a second print cover. A clerk at my LCS told me that it had been used for the hardback or TPB edition of the book as well, but if it has, I cannot find it.

Sorry, got distracted. The Spidey and Vampi covers very nice as well!

 

AKA Rick, what commission made the cut as a cover?

[Ares]

I have a cover that was for the cover to DC comics ION #12 and the cover to the Volume 2 of the TPB collection

 

[AKA Rick]

Sorry, got distracted. The Spidey and Vampi covers very nice as well!

 

AKA Rick, what commission made the cut as a cover?

 

Here's the commission by Nick Bradshaw of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer VS Vampirella" that I requested, which ended up becoming a cover three years later for a parody "Vampirella vs Fluffy the Vampire Killer"

 

Here's a link to the image and published cover:

I've got a few covers that were used for TPBs as well but nothing out of the ordinary.

[delekkerste]

Also have this piece by Lee/Williams/Chiodo - it was created to accompany the sale of the complete interiors of X-Men vol. 2 #1 at Sotheby's and then used as Marvel Press Poster #108 (titled "Grounded"). It was also later used as the cover for both the 2nd printing of the 1995 first edition of the X-Men: Mutant Genesis trade paperback as well as the 2002 second edition.

Great covers everyone!

Keep them coming.

Cool thread. I will happily play along!

 

This van Sciver Green Lantern cover was absolutely everywhere for awhile. Attached all the additional images to my CAF. It was a TPB Cover, an Absolute cover, a poster, and then the cover for two different reprint/special type comics. Also, got it on EBAY in 2007 at a great price!!

Love when things are published multiple times. For me, off the top of my head, the Warrior 2 (first miracleman cover) by Garry Leach was published in Britain in 1982 then just this year as the back cover to the 1st TPB. My Kraven's Last Hunt TPB painted cover by Mike Zeck from 1989 was republished as the back cover to the most recent TPB from 2013. And then I have several covers that were used for multiple purposes - from T-shirts to statues, etc. These include the cover to Infinity Gauntlet #3 by George Perez, the cover to Hulk 105 by Marie Severin, my Wrightson Frankenstein Plate, etc. Great topic!

That Ultron cover is fantastic!

 

I'm not up to speed on modern books, is that Cat-Man fighting with Batman?

[NelsonAI]

Yes, that is Catman vs. Batman.

Note quite the same thing, but I was reading the morning funnies when I was surprised that the Bizarro that ran was one that I had the original to

 

my original on my CAF

 

today's comic (scroll down to Wednesday)

 

of course I find out that he is on vacation and running old strips. What I don't understand is, my strip is slightly different from the one shown online (cats are slightly different, as well as some items in the collection). The widescreen view (with the chair) is also surprising since my original only has the main square.

 

Anyone know for sure why that is the case? Is the current version just digital?

Here's my example. Original cover art to Amazing Heroes #36 starring Infinity Inc by Machlan & Ordway. Used again as promo art and used again as a splash in an annual.
