2 on my comic shop now, but expensive. I guess you had to send candy wrappers in to get the comic?

Read the whole thread.

Then, read this thread:

This cannot be overstated: your entire premise is flawed. Top to bottom, beginning to end. You are propagating misinformation. Don't be offended; rather, desire to know the truth.

RMA's most timely thread entrance ever, I'd wager.  As the thread was winding on I kept thinking "Where is RMA? Where is RMA?" And at long last, satisfaction!

I have a huge soft spot for the Iron Giant.  So here's a question:

The comic on the right (first comic appearance of Iron Giant, pre-dates the movie) is not difficult to find.  But, has anyone ever seen the comic on the left?

Following up, the comic on the right (Iron Giant movie preview nn) is easy to get on eBay, but the comic on the left (Iron Giant video preview nn) seems rare as I've only seen two copies (mine and the copy kept by the guy who gave me mine).

Am I right that no one else has (or has seen in person) a copy of the comic on the left?

It's a rare one alright. 

Here's my old copy that I sold 800 years ago:

 

And here's my new one, courtesy of last Sundays London Comic Fair (no, I can't believe it either):

I am glad I will not devote the brain cell needed to understanding these variants as I do not buy then unless they are direct cheap and/or cover price and the cover is really cool.

Eh, I'm not normally a fan of pedantry, but if this particular conversation had continued without RMA's participation, it just would have been wrong.

At first I thought Hulk was squeezing cap in his fist with only his head popping out

The one on the left was a promotional with the first release of the VHS tape, along with an action figure. It is the same as the pre-release promotional on the inside, the cover is the same as the VHS tape box.
