Butcher Cover is a term used in the publishing industry, particularly in relation to comic books and graphic novels. It refers to a special variant cover that features artwork created by a well-known artist or illustrator, often showcasing a unique style or interpretation of the characters. These covers are typically produced in limited quantities and are sought after by collectors. The name "Butcher Cover" comes from the idea that the artwork is so striking or different that it "butchers" the original design. Collectors often value these covers for their rarity and artistic merit, making them a popular item in the comic book community.
