Nightmask 1 alternate cover

This eBay seller has listed this Nightmask cover as an alternate cover for Nightmask 1. I wish I knew more about the history of this item. It's pretty cool to see this unused John Romita Jr. Nightmask cover no matter how you look at it.

Untold Tales of the New Universe Print Runs

Let's take a look at the estimated print runs of the Untold Tales of the New Universe one-shots from March, 2006. These numbers were found at www.comichron.com

Estimated print runs:

Untold Tales of Star Brand 11,188
Untold Tales of Justice 10,679
Untold Tales of Nightmask 10,393
Untold Tales of DP 7 10,274
Untold Tales of Psi-Force 9,499

Note: Merc, Spitfire, and Kickers Inc. didn't get their own one-shots, but rather appeared as back-up features in Marvel titles, and I don't believe there to be any value in listing those print runs.
