ABOUT
I’m sure you know that Santa cares for cookies as a treat.
You might have even baked him some on Christmas Eve to eat.
But did you know that Santa loves snow cones? He tops them with sprinkles, gummy bears, and yummy creams. Snow cones are the best snack to have on a sleigh ride while he’s out making holiday wishes come true. They are perfect for snow cone fights, but the snow cones must stay white . . . or else they’ll ruin Santa’s favorite white suit.
Santa Loves Snow Cones is a charming rhythmic romp about how Santa got his Christmas colors. The third installment of the Mythical Feasts series, Santa Loves Snow Cones, is the perfect holiday gift for any child.
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.
