Actually some more of those Armageddon 2001 annuals had 2nd and 3rd printings... besides Batman Ann 15 there was-

 

Hawkworld Ann #2 2nd

Justice League America Ann #5 2nd

Superman Ann #3 2nd and 3rd

 

Deathstroke the Terminator #1 also had a 2nd printing

Suddenly, they don't look so collectible . . . :grin: There's a ton of 'em. lol

 

I think there are two parallel discussions in this. For most collectors, I think the interest in 2nd prints as variants often relates to identifiably different features in later editions - like the "Classic" tags on the So Much Fun editions, Marvel's gold ink 2nd prints, and DC's Roman numerals. These distinctions create "variants" that are easily recognized by many collectors, and this awareness allows demand to build in a way that - when combined with relative scarcity - can drive price increases into a feedback loop, where each price increase prompts more collectors to seek these books out.

 

I think this stands in contrast to the many Batman reprints (for example), where the key differentiating factor is relatively obscure - like the numbers or symbols in the UPC codes, or the copyright dates of internal advertisements. These later prints - while still scarcer variants - lack the widespread "identifiability" that will touch off the collectible feedback loop. There are exceptions, of course - the McFarlane cover of Batman #423 seems to drive some additional attention for the variants of that issue, and there are whole threads here (and elsewhere) trying to sort out the nuances of early TMNT printings.

 

By and large, my sense is that this holds true...

 

Just my two cents... I'm interested in other perspectives on this, though...

Just realized that when I bought the Batman multi-pack from wherever, I also bought a Superman 2nd series one as well. Just checked them, and yep, they are 2nd printings not on the list thus far.

 

#19-21

 

Same indicators as the others:

 

US price only

UPC says "DC comics aren't just for kids"

Indicia states 2nd printing

Great post! (thumbs u Btw, I spent the afternoon Mylaring Copper Bats (350-450), with an eye out for 2nd prints. I was pleased to find none. :grin:

Adventures of Superman #499 had a 2nd

 

hm

 

:screwy:

 

I think it's well established by the most serious folks in this field that, while a 3rd printing of #499 exists...a second does not.

 

Interesting, huh?

 

My bad, I wasn't sure how a 3rd print could occur if there wasn't a 2nd print. Does anyone know of another instance where this happens?

So does anyone know why or how the Batman Adventures books were reprinted and released. I cam a cross a 14 which blew my mind as I saw no reason for this to ever be reprinted.

 

Aside from the Roman numerals the logo is all white and the letters page has been replaced with an ad for Bloodlines and Robin.

Flash Vol 2 41 and 44 have second printings.

 

I have two JL Annual 5 second prints, if anyone one wants to trade for the Flash ones.

 

Pics!

 

 

I picked up one of the JL Annual 5 2nd Prints as well. I saw that silver cover and the roman numeral and had to have it
