Yep, back in the day that was the case. Then barcodes became so useful and essential to retailers that they became the norm even for direct editions.
Actually, the publishers pushed the use of the barcodes, as a means of better sales reporting. DC made the switch with their Nov 93 cover dates, and Marvel did it in July, company-wide for both.
Image didn't add Direct barcodes until substantially later (late 1996/early 1997.)
Most retailers didn't care. Many don't use them to this day. |

I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.
