Magic #1 Ashcan Edition Matteo Scalera – One Per Store Preview – BOOM! Studios 2021

Magic #1 Ashcan Edition is a special advance-preview edition of BOOM! Studios’ 2021 Magic: The Gathering comic series.

Released in March 2021, ahead of the regular Magic #1 release on April 7, this ashcan was distributed as a one-per-qualifying-store promotional edition. BOOM! described it as a preview of the debut issue featuring exclusive backmatter, making it a more unusual collectible than the standard first printing.

The series was written by Jed MacKay, with interior artwork by Ig Guara, colors by Arianna Consonni, and lettering by Ed Dukeshire. The ashcan artwork shown on your copy is credited on the cover to Matteo Scalera, with colors by Moreno Dinisio. BOOM!’s announcement also identifies Scalera as the main cover artist for Magic #1.
