IDW Usagi Yojimbo #1 in Previews

[jabba359]

Trevis alerted me to a Slab City exclusive. Seems to only be on eBay right now. UK store, so I might look into ordering for a few people to combine on shipping. I can't seem to post a photo from my phone, at the moment.

There will be a lot more variants than the three Retailer Incentives. Most of them were done by other artists for various comic book stores and HeroesCon. I did, I think, four, including the Release Signing Tour/San Diego Con cover. I am trying to get copies of my covers, but even that is difficult because of exclusivity contracts. If I am able to get some I will make extras (beyond what I need for archives) available to Dojo members first.

Even Julie made one, and it looks fantastic!

Bear in mind that all these images will, most likely, be reprinted in the trade collection.

Between the variants for issue #1 here, and TMNT #100 coming up, it's not going to be a quiet 2019 collecting wise for me!

We always appreciate what help you can give us Stan if anything else, even if you can't get hold of a certain variant to sell to us, we'd love to know what's available out there so we can scour eBay etc to try and find it.

Cheers for that

The other benefit of doing a variant is you get a pile of the incentives as part of the ordering process. Now their prices are higher than I've got a bead on paying for, but it could be a useful backup.

I would like to get in on this if you do order it, unless you decide to wait and see if Stan gets any copies.

Neat. I look forward to seeing Julie's cover. Will it be available from the UY shop, or from Daniel's new shop site?

That is another reason there are so many variants— there are variants of the variants. There will be a regular Mike Choi cover and one without the logo. Charles Vess’ HeroesCon cover will have a black & white version.

We will be signing at both Collector’s Paradise and Knowhere Comics the week of the release.


Hello from Budapest, Hungary! Big thanks to Dojo member Kristof for allowing us to stay in his apartment.

Charles Vess’ HeroesCon cover will have a black & white version.

Very useful to know, thanks Stan, so two versions of the Vess cover? Anyone going to HeroesCon except Stan of course?

Julie will be going and she will have her own variant!

Too bad the title banner covers most of the dragon's head. I sure hope this (along with Stan's Ragnarok half) gets a poster or print from IDW.

Love that Simonson cover, gonna have to track one of those down

[jabba359]

If you want to see all the covers available in one place (instead of searching through pages of this thread), I've been updating the wiki page as we find out details.

I believe there will be a print of this given at the IDW dinner. I don’t think it will be available elsewhere.

Incidentally, we each worked all over the art, not just on our halves. Can you tell which parts I worked on in this part of the cover?

The zombies, Vikings and the serpent. Not sure about the guy right in front of Usagi.....
