Return of the alternate covers


After having taken a break from issuing rarer alternative covers for each issue of their Peanuts comic book, Kaboom has returned to the practice with the most recent issue, #17. Once again, they are doing “first appearance” covers, but starting with this one, it’s the first appearance of a phrase. The first one is “Good grief”, as you see here. The second (which I’m holding in my hands) is “Blockhead”.

Apparently, these aren’t being sold through the comic book stores, you have to buy them from Boom directly. They’ll sell a single issue to you at a convention or through a website for about $10, but you can save by subscribing for a set of four.
