Marvel used to offer up these black and white preview books to retailers called Sales to Astonish. At some point after Marvel bought Malibu, they used the back half of one of these to give the Ultraverse some love. At least that’s what I think happened. I’ve seen a bunch of different copies of Sales to Astonish but this is the only one with a Malibu Flipside. And that’s all I know about this, but at least I have a couple of pictures.

Where to start
Since this blog is mainly about collecting Ultraverse comics, start off with the checklist (click the tab at the top of the page). It's an ongoing project but I think we're getting pretty close.Categories

Here's the trick. If you're collecting these comics you are one of the few, so don't go crazy. Just be patient, look for large lots on the cheap and keep your eyes on auction sites. But if you see a gold hologram cover, grab it!
Cheep shot
Yes, I know how to spell "cheap." Sheesh.

This is really cool that you’ve put this site together! You had asked about Hardcase: it was about 3 minutes.
The gold holograms print runs were a few hundred each.
Keep up the great work.
