DC is also set to release four “Beetlejuice”-themed variants on August 21. One standout piece is a homage by classic horror artist Kelley Jones, drawing inspiration from Bernie Wrightson and Jack Adler’s iconic cover for “House of Secrets” #92, the first appearance of Swamp Thing. The artwork features Betelgeuse looking into a mirror, anticipating Swamp Thing’s arrival, and will be available on the Facsimile Edition of this vintage comic.

Other notable releases include Nicola Scott’s variant for “Nightwing” #117, where Dick Grayson swings through the air while an enormous and terrifying Betelgeuse looms over him. Meanwhile, the variant for “Wonder Woman” #12 shows the Amazonian hero using her Lasso of Truth to tie up a sandworm. Chris Bachalo’s variant for “Superman” #17 is another highlight, showing Betelgeuse lounging on a couch in the Netherworld’s waiting room, humorously interacting with a shrunken-headed Superman and inquiring about his relationship with Lois Lane.
