Superman: Son of Kal-El #1 Timms 1:50 Virgin 3rd Print

DC, published date: January 2022 (in-shops: 2021-11-24).

This is the third print 1:50 retailer incentive variant with a card stock cover by John Timms (barcode: 7-61941-37452-9-00124 & Diamond code: AUG219228).

Jonathan Kent has experienced a lot in his young life. He's traveled the galaxies with his Kryptonian grandfather and lived in the future with the Legion of Super-Heroes, who were intent on training him for the day his father, Clark Kent, could no longer be Superman. There is a hole in the Legion's history that prevents Jon from knowing exactly when that will happen, but all signs point to it being very soon. It's time for the son to wear the cape of his father and bear the symbol of hope that has told the world who Superman really is.

Join writer Tom Taylor (Nightwing, DCeased) and artist John Timms (Infinite Frontier) as they usher in a whole new era for the House of El!

At the time of writing, in early December 2021, there were no recorded CGC or CBCS gradings of the Timms 1:50 Virgin 3rd Print variant but it is very early days and I'm sure a number will start appearing in the coming months.

At the release, in November 2021, the 3rd print variants were going for around $60 on ebay but, by early December 2021, some were going for over $200, certainly, one to keep an eye on...
