  • Most Holy Statue: From Dave Sim: "As to the statue, hey, I've got one of those, as well. That was done by a fan and was one of the statues that I authorized on the basis that it would be sold in a single comic-book store and would have a limited run. I think there were only two or three that I authorized in that way. If I had to guess, I would say late 90s sometime." Here is a look at the different sides: left side, right side and the back of the statue.
