Want to give a shutout to a great cause and a cool project.
The Uncanny X-Men 100 Project
Back in September of 2013, Marvel Comics printed a few blank covers for Uncanny X-Men #12, and the Hero Initiative(a charity that provides for older comic creators in medical or financial need) acquired 104 of them and commissioned 100 top artists to do an original drawing on each cover. The originals were then auctioned off via eBay.com starting May 27, 2014 at the rate of approximately 10 per week for 10 weeks, each issue going from several hundred to thousands of dollars, with all proceeds going to the Hero Initiative(a number of these were bought up with en eye on resale potential. The Iceman/Thor cover, for example, originally went for $346; and is now up for resale at eBay, for $3,600 or best offer!
)
Featured artist include John Cassaday, Alan Davis, Dale Keown, Adam Kubert, George Pérez, John Romita, Joe Sinnott and MORE!
Here's a brief sample of some covers:
Jenny Frison
Brett Breeding
Alan Davis
Joe Jusko
Joseph Michael Linser
Jerry Ordway
Pere Perez
You can see all of them here!
Well, if the original issues are out of your price range(and mine), all 104 images were collected in hardcover and softcover formats and published through special arrangement with Marvel Comics. There will be ONLY ONE PRINTING OF THIS BOOK EVER!
120 pages squarebound full-color
A LIMITED EDITION HARDCOVER; (ONLY 500 COPIES MADE!) $24.99
A LIMITED EDITION SOFTCOVER; 12.99
I got a copy of the softcover through my LCS, you can try to get a copy through yours or direct from The Hero Initiative themselves through their eBay store. All proceeds got to the charity.
