Issue #5

Every San Diego Comic-Con 2026 exclusive comic cover, in one place. The show ran July 23 to 26, with Preview Night on Wednesday, July 22. This list holds 546 show-only covers across 192 issues. DC, Marvel, Image, IDW, Dark Horse and BOOM! all had one, and so did dozens of small presses. Shops and booths had their own too, from Torpedo Comics, Big Time Collectibles, Trinity Comics and more. Look for foil, virgin, glow-in-the-dark, spot UV and signed covers, with print runs from 2,000 down to 20. The ones to watch this year were Absolute Batman #22, Absolute Superman #21, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #20, Lady Death, and Something is Killing the Children. Track what you own, build a want list, and check print runs and prices on every SDCC 2026 cover.
