Spider-Man #1 (1990) Silver Direct - Possible Blue Lizard Error?22174

Collector Moonmission private msg quote post Address this user
Hey everyone,
I recently pulled out my old Torment run (Spider-Man #1–5, 1990, Todd McFarlane) and noticed the Lizard looks off in the sewer/stalking sequence—specifically teal/blue-ish instead of bright green in several panels on what seems to be one wrap/signature.
I’ve read about the known “Blue Lizard” printing error (missing yellow ink plate, Lizard turns cyan/teal/blue in the garbage/sewer ambush pages, exclusive to unbagged silver direct editions).
Here are some close-up photos of the suspect panels vs. a normal green one from another page in the same issue: Id love to hear what people think. I’m new to this so any thoughts would be great.

The one you've posted looks like the standard green to me. For reference, I've included an image of what the alternate lizard colors can look like, with the green side by side.

The "Copper Lizard" is another one people talk about. I don't have any in my personal collection, otherwise I would've shared photos of those.

That’s what I was thinking my self. I just thought the left page had a slightly different shade of green to the right. Thanks for the reply much appreciated.
