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



Canadian News stand edition '83 (signed by Byrne)



US Newstand edition '83 (signed by Byrne)



Direct sales edition '83 (signed by Byrne)
Facsimile Edition 2019
Spanish Reprint
French Reprint (Strange - Le Journal de Spider-Man)
Greek Reprint compilation (Super Spiderman)
Portuguese Reprint (Tropa Alfa)
Preview Poster (signed by Byrne)



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!

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!
