Thread: Differnt iterations of the Alpha Flight #1 cover

  1. #1

    Default Differnt iterations of the Alpha Flight #1 cover

    We all know it and love it. Yellow background, the whole team saying "we got this"

    First Alpha Flight image i saw was the promo poster before issue 1.

    more recently I've made it my goal to find as many versions of it as I could. So far have

    a French Textless art print
    a Spanish newspaper postcard print (El Sol)
    a Greg Hyland Lego character version print
    a Group of Seven homage print
    a Carved cedar recreation of the Facsimile Edition

    but i'm looking for more
    there must be German, Polish, Japanese, other languages...
    i know there is a pennant, i know there are many TPB and Complitations

    Do my fellow Alphans know of any other versions of this cover? If you have something could you share a photo, if you know of something share a link? I really don't know why, but I like this little side collection!


    thanks much!

    Cover of Marvel Age #2 has the promo cover too.
    Are you an Alpha Flight Collector?

    That's a great side-collection, and I fully endorse it.

    That said, it's not something I've thought about, so I don't have anything to add. Ebay and Amazon spring to mind, though.

    Oh, and also - there was a t-shirt once, in the 80s, that I think reproduced that cover.

    Yikes - quick check on ebay - shirts over $80!

    i forgot i also have:

    a Trading Card and two Spanish compilations.

    would there be any value to adding images of these different variations to the site?

    appreciate everyone's help.

    They're vintage shirts, so I'm not surprised!
    I tried Amazon, but didn't see them. I didn't try very hard, though.

    Yeah, we'd love to have those variations in our gallery!
