The cover price, eg $0.75 vs $0.95


So one needs to know what the US price was...$0.95 was never a US price.

We just run through the example like this.

Punisher #1 Direct Edition. We see all three prices in the box. $1.25, 50p for the UK, and $1.50 for Canada




Punisher #1 Newsstand. Only the $1.25



Then the Canadian price variant with $1.50



The index will also tell you. If you look in the index, you can find what the price is for the US and CAN. It will say something like "the price is $0.60 in the US and $0.75 in Canada. They should also all be newsstand copies. I've found that this resource was super helpful in identifying some of the books. They really don't look any different, except for $0.95 copies because that isn't a usual price anyone is used to seeing.

It's too bad cause all my Kravens Last Hunt, Inferno, Atlantis Attacks, Evolutionary War, Secret War, DC Invasion etc etc. were mostly from 1 corner store in town. It would be awesome if they were all CPV!!

Looks like all my Squadron Supreme were!

Not sure what was the decision point to have CPV or not?

Fun on maxi-series cause they span a year or two so with exchange the CPV are 1.50 then 1.00 then .95...just all over the place



That's what I don't understand with it. The direct editions were distributed to the comic shops, but then the CPV copies may not have always been distributed to the newsstand market. I also don't know why Marvel made them at all. They stopped pence only priced books at the end of 1981, so why do it for just Canada and not just print the US/UK/CAN prices on both direct and newsstand?

Generally follows like:

$0.60 -> $0.75 CAN
$0.75 -> $0.95 or $1.00 CAN
$1.00 -> $1.25 CAN
$1.25 -> $1.50 CAN

Not usually worth sharing, but this means that my LCS is sending new comics again. These came out right at about shutdown time, and the store is still closed because they're in a mall, but they can get shipments now and are mailing pull lists. Should get 'for real' new books next week and I guess Friday is my New Comic Book Day for a bit.

A few Spawn and Captain America comics that I got the last few days. All the excitement surrounding the Spawn Kickstarter reminded me that I had sold all my Spawn comics YEARS ago. I decided I had to get a few before the new movie hits. I also got a SWEET Red Sonja comic!!

Stopped by Queen City today after I got done doing Navy stuff to see the guys and make sure everyone had been ok. Bought a few filler issues. It's nice to have some of the shops open. My spot in KY opens next week.

Man it feels like it's been ages since I posted a new book. Well a big shout out to @Tedsaid for setting me up with this copy of Swamp Thing #37. We had discussed this a while ago and came to an agreement, and then that which cannot be named happened. Well things are slowly moving again and this arrived today from MCS. Thanks again Ted for waiting this out with me and making it work. You are a good man.

I was at my LCS Saturday and walked into this deal.

The owner has been selling Mystery boxes of DC, Marvel, and Indies.

I have bought a couple from him in the past, so he sold me a DC box for $20.00, then he threw in the Indie box for free.

I have found only about 4 that were in bad condition, the rest were in 8.0 or above.
