I wanna start chasing Marvel 2nd prints... 5 5

[whisp]

I found a G I Joe #2 Canadian Variant.

 

Aside from that, second print G I Joes are hard

 

The 75 cent cover is the second print, not a Canadian variant.

 

In what way are second print G.I. Joes hard? They are everywhere. There are still tons of the multi-paks out in the wild that were kept in amazing condition.

+1 The #2 Second Print is very easy to find.

 

Plus it will have black spider man logo. Without knowing about when the logo changes and such hard to tell 2nd printings throughout the series since it is not listed inside the book as a second printing on most of them.

Example of GI Joe #2 2nd printing.

sorry if already mentioned, but the Fragglerock books I believe had second prints or re-prints a couple of years later...only real difference is the cover price

[bellrules]

Fraggle Rock does have a second print. It has a different UPC and Price Box. Top cover is the first print, bottom is the second. The most confusing multiple printings from Marvel have to be the Smurfs. Nothing in the Indicia; the only difference between the first and the second prints are the ads. At least the third print has the black Spidey UPC to identify it. Here's a link to the Smurfs info I've managed to track down.

One other book that I don't think that has been mentioned in this thread is Transformers #3. Although it's a "toy" book, it does have a place with superhero collectors as it is an early Black Spider-man appearance. There were three packs of TF #1-3 issued and the copies of #3 in the 3-pack had the same ad pages as you would find on TF #2 or #1 (a black background ad) instead of the one that was issued when it hit the newsstand (a tan background). Would one of these be considered a 2nd print or just a "variant?" Regardless, it's an interesting book to note from this timeframe.

Has the Spider-Man 2099 #1 second print been mentioned yet? I picked these two up in a collection today.

What's on the back covers? They look like the comics that were included with the Toy Biz Spider-Man figures.

 

Here's an e-bay auction for the figure showing the comic.

[mysterio]

With the "not for sale" in the indicia these are almost certainly from toys. Cool books though, especially the 2099.

[awakeintheashes]

You are correct. Totally overlooked the NFS. I knew the Web of Spider-Man was with a toy. Hadn't seen the Spidey 2099 and the barcode threw me off.

 

They have Reebok ads on the back. Same ad on both.

Late copper/early modern - Web of Spider-Man 118 had a second printing

 

 

That a book that came with an action figure?

 

I'm not sure. It's from 2001, but other than that I'm at a loss

 

The first print would have come out about 9 years earlier, so chances are that printing was related to something like a toy or promo.

 

 

Thanks! (thumbs u

 

You forget where you saw the Web #118 2nd print from before?

 

 

[awakeintheashes]

Nah. I remembered that one. Hadn't seen the Spidey 2099, though.

[gradejunky]

The 2099 is not an easy find in the wild for sure. At least not in all my years of comic buying.

I bought a Web 118 yesterday at the LCS for $2.00 and I just realized that what I got was this one....

 

Pretty sweet

Very nice! How is it condition-wise? The one I grabbed yesterday is 9.4-9.6. The few that I've seen, since knowing what I was looking for, have been in the F/VF-VF range.

Yeah, it's a about an 8.0/8.5 range. I wish it nicer but it's nice to have found one.

It sure is. If it wasn't for the ASM 129 that was also in the collection I bought, it would have been the highlight.

[mysterio]

My brother found this in a collection and snagged it for me.

 

[Boboset]

I hopefully have a really nice 2nd print ASM 101 showing up in the mail today.

 

It doesn't rate high on the rarity scale next to some of these other books, but I've always liked it and have had a tough time locating a nice copy.

[mysterio]

for you. The only ones I've seen have been 9.0 at best, so I hope yours comes out nice!

Thanks. If it's in the range I'm hoping for I will post a scan.
