I don't know what a "spoilage" cover is supposed to be, but I know a lot about print production, and will point out that the "missing" hair piece is due to the book being trimmed differently, closer to the top. When pieces are prepared for print production, there is generally extra art (in the case of comics, figure about 1/8 inch) included past the intended trim area, since printed pieces don't always get trimmed along the exact same lines. So there's nothing "missing," it's just a slightly different trim. As for color differences, you'll see some variation over the course of a print run as some colors start running a little light or dark. Again, a very common occurrence. Generally the only cases that comic collectors care about is when one of the four process (cyan, magenta, yellow, or black) inks is completely absent from the printed piece (see Spider-man #1 with the blue Lizard). So what you have here is not so much a "variant" but an expected slight deviation from the intended norm.

Thanks I have been trying to find out info on it. I know I haven't seen too many like the ones I have but wasn't sure. I was told its a spoilage issue, its an error, etc. It's good to know what it really is.

I know i dont have pics to show but Ive seen the different covers in real life. Theres definitely a batch of darker covers

IS the one I listed one of those darker covers?

Hahha it's cool. I don't lie, even though I know a member on here was already giving me a hard time about amazing fantasy 15.....but whatever. I own a few of these error prints and just not sure if its a spoilage cover like I was told, if that is eve real, or if its just a one off error?

here's the darker background and notice the upper right drawing of gwen, her hair piece is missing on her left side head

normal version below

 

Pictures!!! Or it never really happened

I'll add a few in a few minutes = )

I have seen a few comic sellers/ spoke to a few collectors who say there is this "spoilage" cover that was suppose to be pulled but not all were pulled off the shelves in time. I managed to snag a few of them and have them signed by the artist and writer, but is that really the story behind the darker cover of the first printing of Edge of Spider-Verse #2 with Spider Gwen? I know it is missing the hair piece in the darker cover. Maybe its just an error variant?
