Filed under: Glow in the Dark Comics — Doorman @ 12:55 pm

During the speculator boom in the 1990s comic book market, publishers enhanced comic covers to increase sales. These gimmicks included shiny foil, holograms and even pop-ups! But, one of the coolest enhancements was the glow in the dark cover. Let’s shed some light on the subject, shall we?

Evil Ernie: Revenge #1Publisher: Chaos! Comics
Cover Date: October 1994

Evil Ernie was an ongoing series originally published by Eternity Comics. After six issues, he later became one of the flagship characters for Chaos! Comics. His first mini series, Evil Ernie: Resurrection, lasted four issues as did his second mini-series, Evil Ernie: Revenge. To celebrate its first issue, Chaos! publisheda premium edition that was limited to 10,000 copies. Unfortunately, the red ink dulls the glow finish making it difficult to see the hidden image (Lady Death on the left; Ernie on the right with outstretched claws).
