We are still going through the warehouse trying to separate our AUS and regular US versions, so even we don’t know what we still have! We are only about 15% through, with a basic scan. I will update you as we find more.

There has been a lot of misinformation about these US Marvel comics printed specifically for the Australian newsstand market in the early nineties. They have been described as 1A variants (which applies to some other editions printed for other countries), but this is not accurate. The 1A status was simply arrived at with the limited information available at the time. The information presented here was obtained by us, first hand, from the Australian Marvel Sales rep, whose job was to increase Marvel comic newsstand sales.
