The Chosen One, the Slayer, the one who stands against the forces of darkness…Buffy lives! And she’s on the cover of The Big, Big edition of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #48. Famed Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic artist Georges Jeanty brings Buffy Summers to life on the cover of the oversized, limited edition version of the Guide. Surrounded by creatures of the night, Buffy is armed with a wooden stake and ready for action! 

Inside the Guide, dealers, serious collectors, and historians will find plenty of action as well. With no ads and no articles, readers can easily browse through pricing sections and the lists of top comics. Rather than the typical spiralbound, this year’s edition of The Big, Big Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide will be square bound. The Big, Big is currently featured in Diamond Comic Distributors’ April 2018 edition of PREVIEWS on page 392. The guide will arrive in comic book stores on July 18, 2018, retailing for $47.50.

“We’re very happy to have Georges Jeanty pencil and Karl Story ink the cover for The Big, Big Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #48. We’ve been fans of their work on Buffy for years and we think they’ve created a great image for us,” said J.C. Vaughn, Vice-President of Publishing for Gemstone Publishing.

Following the Big, Big edition’s return with #42, it has featured top cover artists like Lewis LaRosa (#42, X-O Manowar), Will Conrad (#43, Shadowman), Francesco Francavilla (#43, Afterlife With Archie), Kevin Eastman (#44, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Joe Corroney (#46, Stark Trek), and Billy Tucci (#47, The Tick). 

Since its initial publishing in 1970, the Guide has served as a “Bible” for collectors, dealers, and historians, offering insight into the complex and exciting comic book market. The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide is released each July by Gemstone Publishing, compiled by founder Robert M. Overstreet and an extensive roster of Overstreet Advisors. 

Along with this limited Buffy the Vampire Slayer cover, Gemstone has also announced a Flash/Green Lantern cover by Ethan Van Sciver (in both hardcover and softcover) and a Planet of the Apes cover by Ryan Sook (also in both hardcover and softcover) as well as for The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #48. They will have the same on-sale date, July 18, as the Big, Big.
