@shrewbeer

I appreciate that you tried to make it a different and interesting. I think I may have messed it up!

Is that a yellow UPC? I have a DD 131 and I don't remember it having a yellow UPC.

I've found this thread enlightening, even if it can be confusing...

Good discussion going on in parallel with the contest!

Every copy I can find seems to have a yellow UPC. I think if yours isn’t yellow then you might have something valuable

One of my favorite covers of all time. I think it is because it blew me away when I saw it come out as a kid. I was into DD at that time. And Miller was all the rage!!

Also I'd like to point out this Wolverine 10 was published in the last month Marvel had Newsstands. It really is the death of the (Marvel) Newsstand.

I mistakenly entered a direct sales edition of my comic. Here’s my resubmission...




Please DISREGARD my previous entry as it was entered in haste. Sometimes when life happens the minute details are overlooked on things like this, so this should cover for my “failing” first submission. Thank you.

Edit. Not a death cover.

Disagree. You produced some great cover submissions, mission accomplished! Maybe narrowing down to specific years would have dialed it in a bit more?

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user
@dielinfinite I would ask you guys to spot the typo on the cover but a signature makes it impossible to read.

it’s up to you to sort out if it is or isn’t a newsstand printing! 😁

I’m not sure what all the fuss is about, I believe I sorted this out back on page one.

Here are the instructions in one sentence:

Post a returnable comic book with death on the cover.

Easy peasy 😃

I will confess, the first post is too large and I skimmed over it. I didn't catch the part about it needing to include a dead body. I thought the title of the thread was a commentary on the newsstand being dead.
I think I'm just going to ignore these threads in the future. Too many "if this, then that" requirements. No hard feelings, I just never cared about the contest aspect of these threads. I just like seeing the covers.

As I said you done fine. I predict one of the barcode entries will win in the end.

Hope you reconsider, if I recollect correct you've posted some awesome comics in the past. Debates, loophole discussion, early or multiple voting, and people missing the subject is just part of the fun of the contest. It's a unique part of the forum that produces covers we may not otherwise see.🍺😎

Don’t forget, direct editions can also have barcodes.
