The Bounce #1 – 2013 – Forbidden Planet Variant – Signed by Joe Casey is a standout collector’s edition of an already unconventional and visually striking superhero debut from Image Comics. Written by Joe Casey (Wildcats, Sex, Godland) and brought to life with the vibrant, kinetic art of David Messina, this first issue introduces readers to Jasper Jenkins, a slacker superhero navigating a strange, shifting world where the lines between reality, escapism, and power blur.

This is the Forbidden Planet exclusive variant cover, making it a rarer version of the launch issue — and it comes personally signed by Joe Casey, adding further desirability and authenticity for collectors and fans of creator-owned comics. Casey’s signature brings added value to this already premium edition, enhancing its appeal for anyone who follows his bold, genre-defying work.

The Bounce brings a sharp, almost surrealist edge to the superhero genre, blending stoner culture with high-concept multiversal espionage. Jenkins is a unique protagonist — flawed, funny, and refreshingly human — whose powers give him the ability to "bounce" with unpredictable consequences. With influences from classic superhero storytelling and modern-day introspection, this series immediately carved out a niche for readers looking for something innovative, subversive, and full of narrative potential.
