Thanos Quest (1990) How to tell???17150

How to distinguish the 1st and 2nd prints? And how to distinguish Direct vs Newsstand? After looking through several offered on eBay, I see no differences in barcode, cover price, indicia, colors, etc. Surely there's something I'm missing, as they are distinguished in the listings.

The second print was a year after the original, so you would probably have to check the inside cover or bottom of the first page for the publication date.

Thank you sir. May I have another? Siggy private msg quote post Address this user
I believe it's stated in the indicia. It's a roll of the dice if it's in a slab.
If it's in a PGX slab, it's a 2nd print.

I don't think there was a newsstand version since it's a prestige book.
And you can't see the indicia of a slabbed book.

To answer your question, no, this is not where the comics go to die. MutantMania private msg quote post Address this user
I found an old post that tells how...not much good if it's in a slab though.

Difference in Thanos Quest #1 first & second prints?

I believe once the answer is offered, the unwritten rule states the thread becomes an appreciation thread.

No pics of the indicia.
