Shadowman (series 2) #16
Hello everyone,
I have a question about Shadowman (series 2) #16 regular issue & the variant 1:10 glow -in-the-dark. How exactly can someone distinguish between the two? Usually I can't find resources on how 2 do this, but I'm stumped on this one. Any answers?
Thanks
Chad

The glow in the dark version has the "gritty" phosphorescent green/yellow texture on the middle of the front cover in the shape of a green circle. You can literally feel the glow in the dark "ink" added.

Another way to tell is that Shadowman is wearing a glow in the dark face mask, with the sides of the mask looking like horns coming out of the top of his head.
The regular version doesn't have the face mask/horns... only his eyes look like they are glowing.
Glow In The Dark
Regular
It looks like the "horns" are the best indicator.

Also the cover stock is considerably different the standard is the normal cover stock and the GLOW is an obvious upgrade

I've asked this a few times before in comics shops and they seem less than interested.

I need to pick up ones of these someday. One of the few SM issues I don't yet have.
