Produced at a 1:4 ratio compared to the standard cover, this variant for the December 1995 issue of Overstreet’s FAN featured an almost-impossible array of creative talent on full display with layouts and inks by Gerhard, and pencils by Dave Sim (Cerebus), Terry Moore (Strangers in Paradise), Peter Bagge, Reed Waller, Marc Hempel (Tug & Buster), Paul Pope (THB), Drew Hayes (Poison Elves), Chris Ware (Acme Novelty Library), Evan Dorkin (Milk & Cheese), Shannon Wheeler (Too Much Coffee Man), and Bernie Mireault (The Jam).
The special independent comics-themed issue features a profile of Cerebus creator Dave Sim and 12 other indy press creators. Vampirella and other Harris titles get their moment in the sun, as does Terry LaBan, Star Trek’s Walter Koenig, Rune vs. Venom, and more. Shawn Spurlock takes a look at collecting original art, the inside workings of a Star Wars trading card with artist John K. Snyder III, plus market reports, pricing updates and more. It’s $15 on our site (plus tax, shipping and handling). Limited quantities.
