Avatar Press
One of the most prolific users of variant covers in the modern age is Avatar Press - it is the norm for their comic books (especially first issues) to ship with a myriad of alternative covers. The first issue of the Stargate Atlantis: Wraithfall mini-series, for example, shipped with six variant edition covers, and Lady Death: Blacklands #1/2 with eight.

Famous quotes containing the word press:
“While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.”
—Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961)
