Alex Ross' unpublished cover for the collected edition of 1963, a six-issue miniseries published by Image Comics in 1993.
Written by Alan Moore, and illustrated by various artists, 1963 was a humorous love letter/homage to the early Marvel Comics of the Silver Age. This included fake ads, editorials, and printing the pages on the same quality (or lack thereof) newsprint paper used back then.
Unfortunately, due to several factors - especially ownership of the various characters - a collected edition is likely never to see the light of day. On the good news front, however, you can usually find these books in the back issue bins of many comic shops.
