every copy of SEX CRIMINALS #11 ships in a sealed bag. at first we were going to put a thousand dollars in some random issue, but it turns out that’s super illegal. so we printed 1000 special blank-ish covers and spent today at cadmus in richmond VA drawing dicks and stuff on 1000 comic books. they will be randomly mixed in with the rest of the print run and should be, to the best of our and cadmus’ abilities to make such things happen, impossible to find without opening them. it costs $3.50. we cannot procure you any; we cannot tell you how to get them. if you want one, buy a copy of SC #11 and you’ve got something like a 1 in 35 chance give or take.
(there is a special XXX cover that was printed-to-order; it too ships in a sealed bag [because the cover is, as advertised, XXX] but that costs $4.69 [get it])
