RockMyAmadeus Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Interesting trivia that no one cares about: on the cover of FFE: Batman #1, they changed a number of details: But on the interior cover, they made even more changes (including changing things back to the original): You have to scratch your head in wonder why they made changes TWICE to a single reprint, rather than using the same image for both the "outer" and "inner" covers. One of the biggest mistakes DC made was not putting "reprint" on each page. See if you can spot all the differences! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reprint looks like No .l That might be the easiest way to remember the reprint. "No .l" is more like a lowercase L than a 1, and a lowercase L stands for "laughable".

Picture it... someone comes across a copy of Batman #1 and thinks "Merry Christmas To Me! I'm RICH!" But then, in the back of their memory comes the thought... "It's only Christmas if there's Noel." If you see an "l" (in No .l), it's Scrooge McReprint. Krismusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaard Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Is that chimney cap (or whatever) on top of the building farthest to the right missing on the 2nd cover? When I was a kid, I was pretty good at those 'find all the differences' puzzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
