Oddball comics - what is your strangest?

[ASM-completist]

By oddball, I mean production errors. I recently bought a double cover issue of ASM and it had the Mark Jeweler insert. I got to thinking that it must be extremely rare. What are some of your strangest as far as production errors or rarity? Let's exclude issues that are double covers only as those are quite common.

Not SUPER rare, but still a cool oddity. I don't collect FF at all, but I loved the colors on this issue.

I have a double book. Instead of cover I have every page in the book twice.

It does the first half of the story twice, then the second half. From Adv. of Sups 426

We have a copy of Charlton's Attack! 26 and the interior is actually Scary Tales 7.

 

I think of this as just a typical Charlton mess-up. Didn't they print their own comics?

I have a silver age Green Lantern #25 where one or two wraps are missing blue - which of course changes Hal Jordan's costume from green to yellow!

I have four copies of a SpecWar comic where the first 16 pages are SpecWar and the last 16 pages are from some pseudo-softporn title...

 

It's really obvious too, since the paper stock for the SpecWar is a full bleed and the other comic has white space on all the edges...

You also had a double cover 30¢ Marvel Feature #1 didn't you.

The copy of Batman #615 I bought off the stand is missing the first wrap. Then when I got to the center of the book I found it -- just folded in half and stuck in there.

Those are all good examples AFAIAC. I have heard of a comic that had 4 covers once too. I thought it was on Ebay but can't remember.

I am sure you know but OS recognizes your issue as the initial version. The corrected version comes later. Too bad that didn't happen to issue 112 huh? Can't imagine what color Hulk would have been.

One FF110 recently sold.

I am guessing that the Hulk would have been orange. In the intial error version, the lady's dress is orange and in the corrected version it is green.

There is a triple cover on Ebay now.

Yeah, there was a Quad cover Spider-Man book on Ebay not too long ago. (A copy of Marvel Tales?). Seller was named "tataboy123" or something like that. He kept spamming the Ebay Boards when it was up for auction, after asking advice about it previously. I believe the opening bid was $5,000? Needless to say, a hearty laugh was had by all.

Great thread but where are the pictures

 

hear is a ASM with a printing error.

 

[magneto_was_right-migratio]

Hey guys... That eBay NUT "tataboy123" is at it again!

This guy has been spamming the eBay Boards for over 4 months pushing his Quad Cover Spider-Man...

Now he's asking an opening bid of $2,500 (he was asking $5,000 then $3,000).

Needless to say, a hearty laugh is still being had by all.

You know I never understood the concept of the EBAY message board. You talk about EBAY, but can't criticize it. Um, er well then really that leaves nothing to talk about.

[racnek63]

There was a quintuple cover FF on eBay a few weeks ago--not a key issue though. It was slabbed and the "quintuple cover" was noted on the label.

 

I tried to find it in the completed listings, but no luck :-( Can't search "title and description."

 

I'll keep looking, and will post if I can find it. If anyone knows where to find it, please post!

This is my "Strangest" comic with a printing error.

 

And it's a 30¢ variant no less...

 

I also have a copy of Day of The Defenders #1 with a couple of the middle interior pages doubled.
