Another newb asking about a comic 0

Hi. I got this version of Iron Man a couple of years back second hand because i really liked it even if it wasn't in great condition. Since then i have been trying to figure out if its a fake or not but i cant find anything on google. It looks different to the examples of issue 8 online and has no.3 in the top left of the title.

I haven't really known where to look for answers so i thought i would try here.... I know this is possibly a dumb topic so sorry about that i just really want to know if this is indeed a fake or just an Australian print variation? Please help im still new to this :')

Not a dumb topic.

It looks like #8, but says #3, and was originally 60 cents... I personally can't find any information on it. Hopefully someone else know wtf this is.

welcome to the boards.. I have no clue about this either but does it seem like it might be a reprinted cover? is the paper different from the book or other comics you have seen before?

I'm going with foreign edition despite the US price tag-- they often have BW interiors and sub standard print quality.

Hello Glitch, this is a local Australian reprint from the 1970's by the Yaffa group. You can see it on the GCD here:

They come up from time to time on eBay Australia:
