Palm Beach, FL, March 28, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Still a full month before the April 26 debut of Zoom Suit #1, an ungraded copy has sold online for $100. Zoom Suit creator John Taddeo has donated 100 percent of the sale to the Humane Society.
First reported in Comics Buyer’s Guide #1617 (June 2006 cover date, on sale now), the extremely rare “Film Festival Edition” variant of Zoom Suit #1 was distributed to friends and early supporters of the Zoom Suit project. The few remaining copies were listed online at the Superverse web site at $100 per copy. The first was purchased within 48 hours of the listing by longtime comic fan Andrew Hamlin of Texas.
“It was an easy decision,” said Hamlin. “Great story, great art, huge potential and it helps a charity I support. John Taddeo has nurtured a fantastic comic supported by a fun web site and animated short that help make comics fun again. Zoom Suit rocks!”
Located at the Superverse web site (www.superverse.com), the Superverse Direct online store contains items not available for sale anywhere else. Rare variants, posters, lithographs, clothing and more can all be purchased here.
“The reaction to Zoom Suit has been a dream come true, but I never thought I’d see the collector interest pique like this,” said Taddeo. “I haven’t seen anything like this since my time at Marvel with Platinum Spider-Man #1.”
