Difference in Thanos Quest #1 first & second prints?

[boomtown]

Picked up a few copies & unsure how to tell the difference between a 1st & 2nd print. Didn't see anything mentioning a 2nd print in the publisher info. Any Thanos fans know differences off the top of your head?

If I remember correctly, you'll see #'s 1 - 10 on the 1st print editions on the bottom of the inside cover (or on pages 1 or 2). The 2nd prints will have #'s 2-10 annotated. It's been a while since I looked at my copies but I'm pretty sure that's how you can tell the difference.

To be sure go to Google and search the words "ISBN Check" and any number of services will come up where you can put in the ISBN directly. Should give you the information you are looking for.

But that's assuming they used a different ISBN number for subsequent printings, which is not a requirement.

 

Just look inside the book - pretty simple.

Thanks JC & everyone else who replied. I guess I'll have to market them as the ultra rare 2nd prints now

I ran the isbn on my TQ1 and it says 1st edition even tho the numbers on the inside cover go from 2-10?

If the numbers go from 2-10, it's a second print.

The ISBN is often the same on all the printings.

So I know this is an old post, but what about Thanos Quest CGC books, how can you tell then? You can't open the book and I don't think CGC adds "1st printing" in their notes on the card.

They would indicate "Second Printing" on the label.

If they catch it.

 

I have second and third printing books that say nothing.

You can also look on the UPC code.

 

When I get home, I can scan ones and show you where it looks different.

I only see the company code and title code, along with publication sequence, on the back.

 

Since 1994, they've included the 5 digit extension code, but in 1991, they weren't yet in place.

 

 

Please post if there's a difference!

My second print copies were labeled as such. But things have definitely been known to slip through.
