Will the real Art of Ramona Fradon please stand up?

[Michael R. Wagner]

The cover of this hardcover one-shot from Dynamite Press that the database has is different from my copy.  I have a first printing edition; it's in full color and the background consists of comic book panels that she created.  The db copy has fewer background panels, all the panels are in various shades of red, and the lower left corner includes "Overview by Howard Chaykin."  My copy doesn't have that overview.  I'm wondering which is "HC" and which is a subsequent(?) printing, which would be identified accordingly.

I scanned and attached an image of my copy for comparison and hopefully some assistance.

This title entry also has a separate listing for a signed, numbered edition, which I think is a separate issue, as such editions are not consistently entered in the db as separate entries.

I don't think the cover we have currently is correct since it was used for solicitation ordering. The cover you got is probably the correct cover for HC

With that in mind, I've just uploaded my cover.  It's not 100% complete (book is too big to fit within the edges of my flatbed scanner).  I'll upload a more complete version if I can.

Chasing down the Signed Edition cover scan on the internet seems to have stumped our Editorial team for now. Not sure we believe the solicitation cover which was the other cover is the legit.

Some sites show the solicitation cover, but it looks preliminary. Even the publisher's website shows the regular and signed editions with the same cover as above.

The copy on eBay has the same cover with the signed page pictured as well.
