ABOUT
When you think of a sandwich, you probably think of grilled cheese or PB&J. But do you know how much more sandwiches can be? They can represent your truest self. They can fill your heart with gratitude. They can even contain the entire world except for you—just hold two pieces of bread on either side of your head. Once you reach enlightenment, you'll understand that everything is a sandwich: even trees and water molecules. And there's almost nothing better than a sandwich someone made just for you.
This laugh-out-loud taxonomy of sandwiches brings Adam Rubin's trademark zany humor together with the stunning artwork of Felicita Sala to reveal the life-changing, awe-inspiring brilliance of one of the world’s most popular foods.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
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.
