Printing error or just my imagination?16011

Where's his Bat-package? Byrdibyrd private msg quote post Address this user
I've always been curious about my one very clearly BLUE copy of Batman #405. Every other one I've seen is purple, but not this one. I'm thinking it's a printing error where they ran out of red but didn't spot it in time, or am I reading too much into it?

I can't speak anything for the book but it reminds me of Moon Night #1. It's just how the ink differentiates thru the thousands of copies printed. #I Think.

That's cool. I'm fine with it being my imagination and me just having a couple of the extremes in my collection.

this^^ and it’s entirely possible the colors were adjusted at some point during printing for whatever reason.

That hadn't crossed my mind at all. Also very possible.

It's happens when the printers run low on certain colors.

@Siggy Exactly. Nice Spideys, by the way.

It's fairly common. The purple Sandman #1 from the 70s is the only one I can think of that's sought out.

Yes! I knew there was something that had this type of colour differentiation that was considered a legitimate printing error. Couldn't recall what it was. Magic of Ye Olde Age, I suppose.

@Batman66 Thanks! I may do that, even though I suspect that, as folks have been saying, it's just normal variation. That Marvel Super Action is WAY cool!!
