Yes, I know I've shown this cover before (twice, in fact), but it was an image 'borrowed' from eBay. This one is a scan of my own issue, newly arrived a mere 10 minutes or so ago from the States by courier. 'Twas a bit pricey, but after holding out for a good while from obtaining my own copy, I decided to take the plunge and nab one for myself. Had they reproduced it in the deluxe hard-cover volume of Detective Comics #1000 in its full glory, that would likely have satisfied me, but unlike most of the other variant covers, it was reproduced in smaller dimensions which robbed it of its impact.
Great, innit? Any other Crivvies got this Alex Ross version? Make those who don't just a tiny bit jealous by indulging in a little bragging in our comments section.

I have the Steve Rude cover version somewhere in my house. I wasnt aware there were so many covers produced for this issue over 30!
I bought the Bernie Wrightson version around the time (or just after) it went on sale, McS, and that was the only cover I saw until I bought the deluxe hardcover version which reprinted the others at the back of the book. However, the Ross one was tiny and, if memory serves, it was only the artwork and not the logo that was shown (I'll have to check). This goes well with Action Comics #1050 (which I also have), featuring Ross's version of AC #1.
Just checked and it wasn't as small as I'd thought (it was just over a quarter page-size), though it was just the illustration with no logo.
