Psylocke #1 (Warren Louw) “Glowing Katana” Virgin Variant — #/500 — CoA

Near Mint (ungraded). This is the Warren Louw “Glowing Katana” virgin cover variant of Psylocke #1, a numbered limited edition printed to 500 copies. The cover is a full-bleed, non-indicia (virgin) piece with Louw’s signature polished digital painting style — vivid neon purples and pinks centered on Psylocke and her katana. Numbering is present on the edition and the book includes a matching Certificate of Authenticity (CoA).

Condition notes: listed as Near Mint and sold ungraded. The cover image and wrap show strong color saturation and gloss with no obvious bends, creases, or major spine roll visible in the supplied photos; pages are clean and the corners appear sharp. This copy is not slabbed or CGC/PGX graded. Any small surface handling marks are minor and consistent with an ungraded near-mint copy.

Why this copy is collectible: Warren Louw is a sought-after cover artist whose limited-run virgin variants sell well among collectors and fans of modern cover art. The 1–500 print run keeps this variant scarce, and the dramatic “glowing katana” composition makes it a display piece for an X-Men or Psylocke collection. As an ungraded but well-preserved near-mint example with its CoA, this book is appealing both for collectors who want a high-quality shelf/display copy and for those considering future grading.
