Indeed. No prior Stout print made my jaw drop like the variant. The Lost Boys and The Thing were close, but the Akira variant is pretty special. Plus, the wife loves it (print and movie) so that's a plus.Callaghanx wrote:I own the variant, and its amazing in person. One of my favourite prints. The metallics on it are some of the best I've seen

In reference to the print appearing without letters:
I do kinda like the idea that there could be extra-special 'perfect' variants out there though.
But in all likelihood it was a trick of the light that obscured the detail in the shots omitting the lettering....
This is a very good explanation,and i certainly wouldn't dream of arguing with Billy as he knows his fudge.iambillyg wrote:Looks like they had some harsh light on that image to show off the metallics. Not uncommon for some details to be lost when the light bounces off the metallics.
If you look closely, there's a haze around the sign that appears to show the red layer there, just not very visible.

The sign is definitely there, you can even see it in the pic...just not very well.
