Do you own a copy of "Batman: The Dark Knight returns TP" or "Batman: A death in the family TP" and can you answer my questions ? 0

Hi,

I currently try to figure out how many printings those Trades have.

1. "Batman: The Dark Knight returns TP"
 
There are five different cover:
 
a) first one is Batman with the big lightning in the background
b) second one is with the lettering "10th Anniversary" and Batman sitting on the cable
c) third one is without the lettering "10th Anniversary" and Batman sitting on the cable
d) the fourth one is Batman's head and a lot of yellow around him
e) the fifth one is with the lettering "30th Anniversary"
 
Now my questions:
 
a) do you have the first cover with a printing later than ten ?
b) do you have the third cover with a printing other than five ?
c) do you have the fourth cover with a printing lower than six ?

If you can answer one or more questions with yes, can I see a picture of the indica ?
 
2. "Batman: A death in the family TP"
 
Do you have a tenth printing of this book ?
 
If yes, can I have a picture of the indica ?
 
3. "The Batman strikes Free Comic Book Edition"
 
Does your copy say "second printing" in the indica, too ?

If no, can I have a picture of the indica ?

Thank you for your help !

Bye,

Archi

Hi Raze,

 

thank you very much for your reply !

 

The reason for my questions is that I want to know for DKR when they changed to the yellow cover, and if they started the numbering anew. Same question for DITF, when did they change to the black cover. I searched the boards and the internet and was able to find some information, but no answer.

 

Hope that you can help me !

 

Bye,

I got the indica for the 11th printing of cover number four so this question is solved.

 

Let's hope you can answer one or more of the other questions, too !
