Hahaha, wouldn't be possible at a $24.95 cover price. Maybe, possible at a cover price closer to the DH reprints ($49.95).

I've received a question asking whether it was okay to commission Anthony to finish one of the cover sketches. I have no problem with that and look forward to seeing the art completed.

What is the general consensus on the sketches? Are they fun to see? Do we have a favorite? Perhaps a poll should be started.

There was this phase when comics were tying covers together yadda, yadda. It was around the time in VH-2 where we did the homage covers. I decided that it would be funny to do "crotch" month. So I convinced all the other editors to get the artists to sketches for crotch month.

I'm a little sick in the head. But the laughs...priceless.

Added some body poses by Anthony and a sketch and pencils for the final cover.
