I usually buy B. P.R.D. in trade (as in trade papaerback, when a collection of stories are printed in one volume), but this image by Mike Mignola struck me so much, that I had to buy this issue, even though it is more expensive due it being a variant cover, with a lower print run, thus making it rarer, and perhaps more valuable to collectors. I'm not really interested in it for that, I just like it because it's Mike Mignola drawing a '50s kind of space invader in a cool tripod suit. For me, that is worth the extra money.
