STARGATE SG-1: 2004 CONVENTION SPECIAL WRAPAROUND TEST PRINT PURPLE
FOIL EDITION
Special edition comic book discovered, offered here for the first time!
Retail on these is $49.99, but we are offering them directly to the
fans that made the show a hit for just $29.99. We are expecting a
complete sell-out, so please order at your earliest convenience.
Test prints are done by the printer to make sure that all the alignment is OK on the foil press and that the foil is adhering properly on the front cover of the comic book before they print our normal print run. These are usually created on overprinted copies of the same cover that will be foiled later on, and then discarded by the printer.
What makes this comic book so special is that the foil is on the
wraparound cover, not the standard cover, and in special purple foil, which we have never used before. There are no other foil editions of the wraparound cover. The net result is this is one of the most limited Stargate comic books ever! This edition is limited to just 150 copies. Each copy ships with a certificate of authenticity.
You can order the Stargate SG-1: 2004 Convention Special Wraparound
Test Print Purple Foil Edition at:

Although this item may never be available in stores due to the limited quantity available, your local retailer should have a number of other Stargate SG-1 regular & special editions in stock. Please ask your local retailer what he has available. If you can't find Stargate SG-1 comics locally, you can also get them at:
