OK. I guess that's it. Now, can we develop this thread into a compendium of all comics that fit each catagory? Has it been done already?

Silver Foil
Colored Foil - Incredible Hulk #300
Prism Foil
Holo-Grafix Foil - Uncanny X-Men
Embossed - Fantastic Four (white, red)
Affixed Hologram Card - Uncanny X-Men
Die-cut comic book - Ferret (sp?) #1
Plastic jewel affixed to cover - Eclipso #1

Pop-up diorama cover - Mighty Magnor issue
Glow-In-the-Dark - The Maxx, Ghost Rider

Regarding colorforms, what about covers with an art style different than standard comic book fare?

Sienkiewicz's "Kiddie Crayon" child abuse cover for Moon Knight.
Superman had one, also, minus the child abuse theme.
Were those gimmicks?

Were there "virgin" (absent logo) books back then?

What was the first "Virgin Variant"?

(I know, I should post this over on the StL Variant Mafia board.)
