    Forgot about this post. Well here is a pic of it.

    I know its probably just something silly but was just curious if there was a story behind the devil face. And also, after looking closely its actually a sticker thats over the whole front cover, so under it there is probably a devil however its thick enough that I can't see through the light to tell.

    I'm guessing that it was gussied up for release in a place that didn't like 'teh devil' on its cover (ala Utah). An interesting variant for sure. I'm all for acqisition if you're looking to sell! It's a new variant to my eyes and my otherwise complete US DC set (w/ variants).
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    I found a copy of the alternate artwork Speed Devils today at Game Over Games in Austin. As Lanzo said earlier it is just a sticker stuck over the standard booklet. On my copy the sticker wasn't precisely placed and I can see the top part of the standard booklet above the sticker. Both versions have "Rating Descriptor" on the back insert though so that's something that was just a mistake on the part of the person(s) who did the packaging. As Lanzo also said the sticker is very thick and I assume that they did that to keep the original artwork from showing through.

    That's interesting. The sticker on mine is not perfectly placed either as I can see the original along the bottom. I got my copy from a member on here (in Kentucky, but I'm not sure where it originated) Still it's pretty cool to have though.
