Une petite wrinkle indeed!
FD, you've caught me asleep on the job my man. Great spot!
When I owned all 6 ASM's yonks ago, I'm sure all the indicia's said $1.99/$2.99 and only the cover price was different. So this time round, foolishly, I never paid much attention to the indicia's, believing they would all follow the 'regular' newsstand prices. Schoolboy error or what! Always check your indicias.
I've dug out my four copies and here's what I find:
ASM #13 - $2.49 variant cover price with 'regular' $1.99 US / $2.99 CAN indicia (as I thought all copies were)
FF #23 - $2.49 cover price with $2.49 US / $2.99 CAN indicia
FF #24 - $2.49 cover price with $2.49 US indicia only
FF #26 - regular $1.99/$2.99 cover with regular $1.99/$2.99 indicia
Thor #17 - $2.29 cover price with $1.99 US / $2.99 CAN indicia
So it's clear that the indicias differ too - some reflecting the US cover variant price and some not. And some with CAN price, some not. What a puzzle. My copies are the same as yours FD so hopefully there aren't variants of variants!
Not sure what to make of it
FD, we need to see more copies interiors as you say - @PeterPark - could you look at yours too please?
Well done again FD. What's your name by the way? FD sounds silly (I'm Steve by the way, pleased to meet you)
