Urbana, IL – Avatar Press, Inc. announced today that the launch of its latest mini-series, Wrath of the Furies, will be commemorated with a super-premium White Leather Edition. The Standard Edition Wrath of the Furies #1, an Adult Material variant edition, and the White Leather Edition will all be available in the January 1997 Previews for items shipping in March. The Wrath of the Furies #1 White Leather Edition will be limited to 1400 copies, and will feature artwork by Richard Pollard stamped in gold foil on the front cover.
“As we have gotten our first several books into production, I have really been blown away by the work that our creators are turning in,” says Avatar Press Editor-in-Chief William A. Christensen. “I quickly realized that as a fan, I would like to have some super-premium editions of these books in my collection. We are introducing this White Leather Edition with the reader/collector in mind.”
“We have worked closely with the printer and manufacturer to take this a step beyond what has been done before,” Christensen continues. “I think fans who have seen the few previous leather-type covers that other publishers have done will be very impressed. In addition to the white color, which has never been done before in comics, we have optimized every aspect of the leather-composite cover and the foil printing to produce a great-looking, quality product.”
The Furies characters will be launched in April in Furies #0, a book which is available for order in the December 1996 edition of Previews. The title was changed to Wrath of the Furies with issue #1 to avoid confusion with the title of another publisher. Both issues feature artwork by fan-favorite artist Rick Lyon.
