Pics, please.
If not mentioned, X-Men: Alpha has a second printing, without the chromium cover.
Mycomicshop.com also lists Ka-Zar #1 (1997) as a second print, but I'm not sure. The UPC code ends with 00121, which normally means it is a variant cover. A second print would usually be 00112, correct? I guess the indicia would be definitive.
"2nd print"
"1st print"
I have both variants.
The 4th number in the code stands for "variant", but this is not always strictly followed. A second print, normally, would be 00112, but this, neither, is strictly followed.
It was definitely an "under the radar" thing, and perhaps the prototype for their soon to follow "white" covered variants.
