DC Comics has provided Newsarama with the first look at Neal Adams’ variant cover for All-Star Superman #1, due in stores on November 16th. Retailers will be able to order one copy of the Adams variant cover for every ten copies of the regular cover All-Star Superman #1 they order.

According to Bob Wayne, DC’s VP Sales the variant availability was developed in consultation with retailers. Similar variant covers for Wildsiderz, Supergirl and All Star Batman and Robin are forthcoming, and presumably will have similar availability.

From DC’s press release announcing the variant:

Please note that due to this change, retailers may reduce their orders on ALL STAR SUPERMAN #1 (SEP050218) one time only from now through October 19. Qualification for the ALL STAR SUPERMAN #1 VARIANT EDITION (AUG058281) will be based on final orders after any order reductions are made. For example, if, after any reductions, your final order on October 19 is 100 copies of ALL STAR SUPERMAN #1, you may order up to 10 copies of the ALL STAR SUPERMAN #1 VARIANT EDITION.
