Definitely in for the MG print. I'd be interested in the AIW, too, if you decided to color it.

As promised! The green velvet matting made the framing way more expensive, but the texture and color variation of it were too awesome against the Hulk not to use it.
Sorry for the weird angle; I had a hell of a time getting a shot without too much reflection and glare. Now to go dig up my masonry drill bits so I can hang the thing! the Hulk!
Quoted from VacFink:The silkscreened version will be the better one to preserve. Silk Screen inks are more lightfast (stable against UV) and so more likely to last longer.
Without seeing the other, it is more comparable to a high end ink-jet print.
You can tell the difference by running your hand over the print. The SS will have a raised surface and the ink will have a little tooth. ZY can chime in but the run of 100 is because, as an artist, the first run didn't meet his standards, rather than toss them, he sent them out as extras. The SS is the 'real print'.
IMO Stick with the SS if you have to part with one.
I agree with Vac. What I've done with similar items in the past is to frame the "official" print (in this case the silkscreen version), and then put the sketch (or in your case, the earlier run) behind it in the frame. That way, the good one is being shown, but the other is protected, and you always have them together. If someone is curious about the piece, you can always pull the other out from behind and you have a neat little story about it.
