Warlord Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Another ignored version of some DC comics are the DC bullet logo variants. These were available in multi-packs usually with DC Universe variants. I am also taking the liberty of including a handful of Batman logo UPC variants in this same list. I tried and failed to find a starting list in the DCU thread, so I've compiled my own based on my Haves/Wants list. Here's the list for starters. I look forward to any updates or additions to help improve the accuracy of this list. DC issues WITH DC Bullet or Batman Logo UPC Variants Action 693, 694 Adventures of Superman 507 Batman 502 Batman Adventures 14 1st print, 14 2nd print, 16 1st print, 16 2nd print, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 29 (all with Batman logo) Catwoman 4 Detective 669 Flash 85 Justice League America 83 Justice League International 58, 59 Legionnaires 9 Looney Tunes 1 Robin 1, 2 Showcase '93 12 Star Trek 55 Star Trek The Next Generation 55 Superman 84 Superman The Man of Steel 28 Wonder Woman 81 Edited March 28, 2019 by Warlord waaaghboss, Iconic1s and RockMyAmadeus 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlord Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Here are some examples of the DC bullet and Batman logo UPC variant issues in sealed packs. Presumably the Batman Adventures #25 is the Batman logo UPC variant, although that can't be confirmed from this image. Other sealed pack examples would be cool to see, please share if you have any!

I have two copies of BA14, so now I need to check to see if I have both a first and a second print, or two copies of just one version. I'm hoping I just left the notation of the printing off of my inventory list. The initial, now more comprehensive, list has been updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlord Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 What do you make of this issue of Batman & Robin Adventures #9? There are also direct and newsstand versions, but this could be another format for a multi-pack variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Buck Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) The Batman Prestige Format one-shots from 1995 - Two Face , The Riddler (possibly also the penguin one from 1992) had pack reprint editions with a Bat-symbol in the UPC box on the rear cover - I have a couple of these so I will put a picture up soon Edited September 14, 2021 by David Buck Warlord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Buck Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) This Batman Forever set contains Bat symbol UPC box variants of the following 3 prestige format books - these all exist as newstand and Direct Market barcoded copies as well Batman Forever - The Official Comic Adaptation, Batman: Riddler - The Riddle Factory, Batman: Two-Face - Crime And Punishment all Indicia's state First Printing The Riddler Book loooks like it is also in a single book Pack with a CD as evidenced on ebay I'm probably wrong on my comment above about them also reissuing the Penguin one shot from 1992 - as the third book i had is the movie adaptation interestingly they've flipped the logo on the two-face issue, it no longer shows the Bat-symbol as a TM (trademark) but instead reads MT Edited September 17, 2021 by David Buck Warlord, onlyweaknesskryptonite and Parallax2025 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Buck Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 you may want to qualify the Batman forever on the list as prestige format since the comic was also issued in mando format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divad Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 So, is this actually a thing worth looking for? Or is this an embryonic list of common "variants"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Buck Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) it's bibliographic research - those who want to collect printing variations will be interested, make your own mind up and ignore it if it's not for you.
