Evening All.

What is the most copies you have of the same comic, where each copy has a notable difference / variation?

I don't mean, for example,140 different issues of ASM 666 - that's too easy...

...or 85 million variant covers of ASM v3 # 1....

Again, too easy.

What I'm looking for are examples like these:

6 Different Amazing Spider-Man #179's

1. 'Regular' Issue

2. Pizzazz Insert Issue

3. Mark Jewelers Insert Issue

4. Early Direct Edition / 'Whitman' Issue

5. Missing Bit of Barcode Issue:

6. White Circle Misprint Issue

So, six issues of the same comic, but each with it's own specific (sometimes very subtle) difference. Play along nicely now, and no moaning about barrel scraping printing errors. It's just a bit of fun, to see if anyone can beat six.... :headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:

That's very  impressive. I would have never realized there are so many variations. leads to SOOOO many questions.  Whats rarest? and so on.

Cheers @comic_memories :)

It's always hit and miss when you start new threads. Some take off, others wither on the vine. I thought someone might take up the challenge, but so far, '6' is it Image result for prisoner mcgoohan throne gif

Cool idea for a thread! You've set the bar really high with six versions! I can't beat that, but here are a few (I'm including pedigrees as "different" copies :whistle:).

Daredevil 168: Graham Nash Collection, Manitoba, Don & Maggie, Western Penn and double cover.

I personally wouldn't consider pedigrees different versions. They're the same version from specific collections.

Fair point, but the threads just for fun. Any excuse to see people's cool multiple copies really. Don't hold back - post away

Not sure if this counts.

Of course they count @Gaard! Nothing wrong with a blue and purple - I've done the same myself in the past:
