Global Frequency #1 RRP, 2002 limited to 200 copies
Batman #608 RRP, 2002 - limited to 200 copies
Fables#6 RRP, 2002 - limited to 200 copies (my personal favorite of the ultra-limited, as I have collected 16 of these copies now)

 Where did you get these numbers?

There are no official numbers posted for these as they were supposed to be promotional copies only.  Looks like Batman 608 was estimated to be around 400 and the other two RRPs from that year (Fables and Global Frequency) around 200 each.  Nobody knows for sure, however.

I have been collecting Fables 6 RRPs since 2002, and I can tell you, very few have become available.  My guess is most, or at least half, of the original 200 were never saved and probably tossed as RRPs were not fully seen as collectible yet.

A few months back, Vampire Hunter D finally appeared in a american comics series. I was a big fan of the movie and was excited about these books. They came out without much fanfare, and it seems hardly any shop ordered them. That's a bit dissapointing. Here is a couple of very nice store variants that seem to fly under the radar with a tiny print run. The first is a Stanley "Artgerm" Lau cover. The color was 750 I think, but the black and white is only 250.

This second one was done by the anime artist, I forget his name....

Looks a lot like a Jeff Jones cover. Very nice. Has a print run of only 50!
