OVERSTREET COMIC BOOK PRICE GUIDE #35
(Feb 2005)
|
Could it possibly have been a quarter of a century since New Teen
Titans #1 hit the stands? Well, yes, it could in 2005. New Teen
Titans #1, which debuted following a teaser appearance by the team within
the pages of DC Comics Presents #26, became an instant hit following its
release back in 1980.
The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #35 celebrates that
historic issue and the series that followed with a special re-creation cover by
none other than George Pérez, the artist who illustrated the famed
original version and helped make that particular super team the powerhouse it is
today. Colored by Pérez's JLA/Avengers colorist Tom Smith, this
cover will appear in wide release through traditional bookstores on the Random
House edition of the Guide and in comic book stops on the limited
edition, spiral-bound version called The Big Big Overstreet Comic Book Price
Guide in May 2005.
"Both George and Tom knocked themselves out on
this cover," said J.C. Vaughn, Executive Editor of Gemstone Publishing. "It's a
tremendous version of New Teen Titans #1, which is simultaneously very
faithful to the original and yet slightly better, if that's possible. We're very
happy to have it as one of our covers this year."
The Official
Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #35 Random House edition will be available
in traditional bookstores this spring. The Big Big Overstreet Comic Book
Price Guide #35 will be available for ordering in the January Previews
from Diamond Comic Distributors.
The standard comic book specialty
market versions of The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #35,
featuring the Iron Man/Tales of Suspense #39 recreation by John K. Snyder
III and Little Lulu by John Stanley will be available in stores in April 2005.
They are presently available for orders at your local comic shop or direct from
Gemstone Publishing by calling toll free (888) 375-9800 ext. 249.
