For most of the 50-year history of The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, many of the most iconic artists in the medium have provided our covers. From Alex Schomburg (CBPG #10) and C.C. Beck (CBPG #15) to Alex Ross (CBPG #27) and Todd McFarlane (CBPG #50), the Hall of Fame caliber roster is simply amazing.

But did you know the late Batman artist Don Newton illustrated the first Guide cover to feature original art?

The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #4, which featured Newton’s take on the Justice Society of America, was not only a success for Bob Overstreet and company back in the day, it remains one of our most popular Guide covers 46 years later. It was even discussed during our Comic-Con@Home panel, which celebrated the history of the Guide.

A limited number of copies are available in the Gemstone web store for $165 (plus tax and shipping).
