Story / Additional InfoHors Commerce prints, or HC’s as they are called in the industry, are very similar to Artist Proofs except they are only available through the artist directly. The artist receives these as a gift for allowing the publisher to print their images. The term Hors Commerce means Out of Trade in English. Of all the special prints, the HC are the most valuable, since they are more rare.
