Ashcans took on a new meaning in the 1990s when digest-sized promotional copies of comic books were published as a collector novelty. These would often, but not always, be printed on a solid color paper stock and display black and white art of upcoming releases.
Preview books and full color mini comics are not included on this list. They are integrated into the comic checklists.
