Title: Comix Book #4 (2nd print)
Post by: 50Cent #II (1st print) on April 26, 2008, 05:29:35 PM
Anyone have a scan of the IFC of the 2nd print of Comix Book #4 to show where it states "Reprint"?

Sorry, I can't be of any help but I'm curious...

I didn't realize any of those issues got two printings and now that I look at Kennedy, wow, what an odd thing. If Kennedy's right the first three issues were 200,000. I guess it wasn't selling as well as expected so they dropped the print run all the way down to 5,000. Holy shit, what a drop! But, apparently, they managed to sell enough that they did a 2nd run of 5K. And then #5 they did one run of 10K. And then they gave up on it. That's kind of a weird printing history.

First three printings were by Marvel, then they dropped it and the next two issues were printed independently if I recall the story correctly, that explains why.

I've seen about 5 or 6 copies, but all seem to be 1st prints as I haven't found one that states "Reprint".

Last two issues were printed by Denis Kitchen and had much less distribution than Marvel's first three issues.

I have a 1st and 2nd print and I will try to dig them out for a scan tonight. Everything is so buried right now, it's been tough to contribute anything here lately.

Wow, I didn't remember that at all -- that's pretty interesting that they let him do that. Thanks, guys.

From what I can see, the "Second Printing" indicator is not on the IFC (page 2), but at the bottom left of page 3.

Thanks Sir Real, just what I was looking for.

By the way, your package is boxed and ready to go out today so you should get it tomorrow...
