UK Price Variants

[quicksilver]

 

I'm not so sure where it's made is as relevant as its intended destination of distribution.

 

So the moment an American product leaves America it ceases to be American??

 

That's why Elvis never toured outside the US.

 

He would have morphed into an Elvis export variant.

 

He would have to have eaten a tremendous quantity of fish and chips.

I concur. Straightforward, and effective.

Ha, beauty! Are those comics weekly standard size?

No they are somewhere between a standard size and magazine.

He would've enjoyed a six-pack or two of deep-fried, battered Mars Bars. Maybe with several slabs of Kendal Mint Cake, just to be safe.

So have we come to an agreement?

 

Elvis would have whored himself out on Fish and Chips and deep fried Mars bars and the UK comic books we're talking about are in actuality UK price variants.

No they are somewhere between a standard size and magazine.

 

I thought they were taller than a magazine size board?

He showed what was and what wasn't a reprint, and I understood that as well going in.

 

But is the UK version considered a price variant?

 

I still believe it should be.

[ShieldAgent]

My definition of a price variant is when the price on the cover does not match the indicia.

FWIW, price variants predate the Bronze Age by some years. Dell tried some 15c cover prices on books also released at 10c. Uncle Scrooge #17 is one of thos, and there were many others. I'm not sure there are many collectors who care about that.
