Start your acquisition with this 2025 first-printing English edition of Runaways Issue #1, finished in its restricted 1:50 Patrick Ejikure virgin variant cover.

The artwork intentionally omits traditional logos and letterboxes, framing Karolina Dean in isolation to deliver a gallery-style presentation that stands apart from standard store copies.

Written by Rainbow Rowell and illustrated by Elena Casagrande, this inaugural installment kicks off the franchise’s modern age storyline while remaining fully anchored within established Marvel continuity. The 1:50 distribution ratio guarantees a tightly controlled print run, meaning verified first-print copies entering private circulation represent a narrow window of availability.

Purchasing this specific variant secures your copy before broader manufacturing shifts begin, preserving primary market pricing and exact publication metadata. The single-issue format aligns with standard archival practices, fitting seamlessly behind rigid backers and protective sleeves. Target the exact distribution tier, verify the creator credits, and lock in a definitive 2025 debut for your collection.
