Comic book fans in the 90s were subjected to a lot of terrible variants (what was the point of the Amazing Spider-Man $400 die-cut cover?), but it is hard to complain about the beautiful glass variant for FALLEN WORLD #1.

The Valiant Entertainment comic features cover art by Doug Braithwaite.  It centers on lead character Rai set against a red mirrored background, all on tempered glass.

Valiant Director of Design and Production, Travis Escarfullery, said of the cover, “Doug created this great dynamic image of Rai so I wanted to make it pop, making it look like the character was emerging from the glass.  The red mirror effect in the background also helps to achieve the effect. A lot of the credit also has to go to our printer, who help make our crazy ideas become reality!”

The first issue of the five-issue series arrives May 1st.  Ask your favorite comic shop to add the Glass Variant to your bin.
