Cherry Poptart comics and Identifying 1st print/ second print 1 1

[icefires]

If anyone has a raw #9 $2.50 cover price that they think will grade at 9.8, I would love to pay stupid money for it.

[RockMyAmadeus]

they sell FAUST in the general comic section

 

 

Also (mostly) porn.

Also, lets not forget

I have a few issues of Cherry/Cherry Poptart.

 

Issue No. 1 is shown below. Issue no. 2 is also titled Cherry Poptart and has a date of October 1993, No. 1 is dated May of 1993. I believe that the first two issues I have are fifth printings(?), maybe I am reading this wrong.

 

My issues from 3 and up are just called Cherry. Issue no. 3 says Cherry (nee poptart) #3 in the indicia and only Cherry on the cover.

 

No. 1 Front Cover (the center white line is from my scanner that I need to replace)

 

No. 1 Back cover

 

No. 1 Indicia

Your best bet is picking up the Fogels supplement - it has all the identifying characteristics for the various Cherry printings.

 

In short, though, here are some of the ways you can identify the first couple of issues:

 

#1 - 1st print has $2.00 cover price.

#1 - 2nd through 6th prints have $2.50 cover price.

 

#2 - 1st print has $2.00 cover price.

#2 - 2nd print has $2.50 cover price, with a line under the cents and a period between $2 and 50.

#2 - 3rd print has $2.50 cover price, with a line under the cents, but no period.

#2 - 4th print has $2.50 cover price, with proportional numbers and no line.

#2 - 5th print has $2.95 cover price.

 

#3 - 1st through 5th print has $2.50 cover price, some of them will say the printing in the indicia.

 

#4 - 1st through 4th print has $2.50 cover price, some of them will say the printing in the indicia.

 

#5 - 1st through 4th print has $2.50 cover price, some of them will say the printing in the indicia.

 

#6 - 1st through 3rd print has $2.50 cover price, 2nd & 3rd print is listed in the indicia.

 

#7 - 1st and 2nd print has $2.50 cover price, 2nd print is listed in the indicia.

 

#8 - 1st and 2nd print has $2.50 cover price, 2nd print is listed in the indicia.

 

#9, #10 - 1st prints have $2.50 cover price.

#11 - 1st prints have $3.50 cover price and no 3D glasses.

 

An easy way to spot later printings of issue #1 and #2 is to look at the title - if it's "Cherry" and not "Cherry Poptart", it's a newer reprint. Starting with issue #3 the book was renamed to "Cherry" because of copyright issues.

 

So....4th print?

 

 

 

 

And 3rd?

What's wrong with this picture ?

Not to beat a dead horse but I'm not able to check the interior of my copy of #1.

 

Is the $2.00 the only indicator of a first print or is it the $2.00 cover plus the Vampironica story?

The price is sufficient - there are no later printings of #1 with a $2.00 cover price.

Thanks. Looks like that was a good deal, then.

 

Any premium for a Welz auto?

I watched him draw it and sign it, so did his wife. Double witnessed.

Anyone have any idea if this was an insert or just a mass produced sketch (or both)?

I acquired a collection that had a few sketches in it and I really have no clue about them. 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I believe it is a mass produced sketch, not an insert. My copy:
