From prinny99, via ebay: Now, for all you people hung up on spending your money on the so-called ashcans and previews officially released thru your distributors of various publications, let me tell you that these companies are taking you for a ride as these are mass produced for your consumption. A true ashcan is a preliminary copy of something that is used for purposes of seeing how a certain book is coming together, kind of like an acetate record not quite finished used for demonstration purposes or a movie not yet with all special effects in place put together to see an audiences reaction. When these items are done being used they are either scrapped or put away so the finished item can be released. Needless to say these pre-editions are not so easily available. Well i am putting up for auction 3 amazing "ashcans" prelimiary copies, actually uncorrected proofs, for auction at this time. If you collectors out there are willing to put up good bids, i will be glad to release others. This is a test. These are one of a kind in my collection as i used to work in the distribution field. This one on 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper contain the hulk future imperfect part 1 illustrated by george perez, complete as publised by marvel comics, in various stages of production. 48 pages plus cover.
