Thundercats 1 - 75¢ Canadian Price Variant

 

TC-1.jpg

 

This is a variant if I've ever seen one, and it is technically a little more complex than the rest, as there are several variations in print that are floating around. There is a US newstand edition with 65¢ and a bar code in the UPC box (as seen below):

Then, there is the multi-price with the star logo in the upc with the large price of 65¢ (error price of $1.00 in Canada) as seen below:

Then there are two different versions of what I'm assuming are second/later prints - there is the multi-price edition with the 75¢ price (95¢ in Canada) and a star logo in the UPC box:

The second version is the same 75¢ price with a star logo in the UPC box:

By the time the issue when into second print, the multi-price was used in Canada so there is no 95¢ version of issue 1 (by issue 4, Canadian copies were already 95¢), and the single price version was used in the US. As such, you can't use the 75¢ price code as the only tell - must have a bar code in the UPC box as well for it to be a Canadian Price Variant.
