DC ART OF JORGE JIMENEZ

THE FIRST VOLUME IN A SERIES OF NEW CLOVER PRESS ART BOOKS! Clover Press is thrilled to launch our newest line of high-end boutique art books with the DC Art of… series, and it all begins with the premier volume, The DC Art of Jorge Jiménez! Jorge Jiménez burst onto the pages of American comics in 2011 and his talent immediately caught readers’ attention. His dynamic-almost frenetic-linework and manga-inspired designs put him in a category all his own, and he quickly climbed the ranks to headline some of DC Comics’ core series, including Superman, Justice League, and Super Sons, working with the likes of Peter J. Tomasi and Scott Snyder. He’s currently completing his greatest accomplishment yet-a five-year run on the company’s flagship series Batman with superstar writers James Tynion IV and Chip Zdarsky, and will soon begin his new run on the title with writer Matt Fraction. Now, over a decade of eye-popping art is collected in one place for fans to revel in the full breadth of Jorge’s DC body of work. This new 9” x 12” coffee table book features over 200 pages of stunning art, gilded edges, and a ribbon bookmark. This is an absolute must-have for any Jorge Jiménez collector! In addition to the regular edition of this book, Clover Press is proud to also offer an exclusive edition only available to Direct Market shops. This edition will not be available in other stores!

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
