Don't take the sticker off the Killing Joke.

From what I can see, the code is from "Warner Publisher Services" so it's possible that it's officially from D.C. and not just added later by a bookstore/distributor.

The UPC starts with "070989" which is the manufacturer section.

https://www.upcindex.net/070989327832  - This "unrelated book" is from the same manufacturer:  "Warner Publisher Services".

Thank you very much!  I'm keeping the sticker on and will send it in to get graded and see how it does.  

I posted this in the Killing Joke thread and someone suggested I post this here as well.  I was going through my old comics in my mom’s attic and came across a copy of what looks to be a first printing of Killing Joke. However, it has a UPC sticker attached to the cover of the book.  I don’t remember where I would have bought this 25+ years ago that would have added that. Has anyone seen this before?  Is this a newsstand version by any chance?  Any options to get this graded or am I out of luck unless I somehow can remove a 25+ year old sticker without leaving residue behind?

Don’t remove it yet.  It may be a newsstand version.  You might want to ask the collectors in the “Show us your modern newsies” thread.

 

Will do.  Thank you.
