The 2nd print has lighter blue box, and the Deja Vu copy is yellow. And there's a Roman numeral II in the price box. Bart Allen 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Woah, never seen that before - I mean surely that's not the same with the other books? That version doesn't include the UK insignia which could mean this is not exclusive for #17.

I rambled a bit there I was suggesting perhaps that second-print isn't just exclusive to #17 and that in fact there could be more issues with that indicia.

As pointed out earlier in the thread, the New 52 Static Shock #1 has a 2nd print, and some of the trades have been reprinted too. Bart Allen and PeterPark 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I meant what Geeks was referring too: whether the other comics, as in Icon, Xombi, Static, Blood Syndicate, etc have a 2nd print as #17 does ~ I need to check some of my books Edited September 16, 2020 by Bart Allen Link to post Share on other sites

fastballspecial Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The newsstand editions wont be hard to find until the end of the run. Keep in mind this is still the mid 90s when theses books came out. So dont overpay for a newsstand unless its toward the end of the runs. Bart Allen 1 Link to post Share on other sites
