Marvel UK Price Variants
Hello.
I thought I'd resurrect this subject, albeit in a new thread. New boards, new thread. And besides, my previous thread title was a bit of a mouthful.
Currently, I have documented 2,992 Marvel comics with pence only printed prices published between the dates of:
May 1960 - the date of the first known single 9d price printed comics (e.g. Gunsmoke Western #58, JIM #58, Strange Tales #75)
December 1981 – the last month before consistent dual pence/cents pricing commenced
I picked up a copy of issue #130 of the UK reprint title, Spider-Man Comics Weekly recently, which reprints part of the story from ASM #96 and with which it shares a cover. I owned it as a kid and spotted it again recently online and felt nostalgic. Like you do.
Anyway, something about it was nagging me. Something was different. So I compared it to the cover of ASM #96 (pence copy obviously) and aside of the obvious colouring differences, and the fact that it's daytime on the reprint cover,
