Popular Post nepatkm Posted February 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Most of my Copper collection are Newsstands. Unfortunately I didn’t have an LCS close to me (until 1988), but many corner stores to walk to, and pick up comics at. Here’s my ASM #300- Edited February 25, 2020 by nepatkm divad, ADAMANTIUM, valiantman and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepatkm Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) A Question? -What timeframe do Newsstand copies overtake Direct editions in terms of desire? It seems to me that earlier direct editions may be harder to come by, not sure. I think that Dazzler #1 was the first Direct Edition copy produced by Marvel in 1981.. So would for example..A copy of Marvel Tails #1 ( 1st Spider-Ham -late 1983) in Direct Edition be less produced than a newsstand version? —Please don’t crucify me for asking, I’m trying to understand the newsstand craze.

mr_highgrade Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 The first Direct Edition that hit the stands where cover dated 6/79. Although, I think there might I've been a few test runs before then. In 1983 I would give a slight edge to Direct Editions. nepatkm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the print run for that issue favored Newsstands. Distribution almost certainly also favored Newsstands. 5 hours ago, nepatkm said: —Please don’t crucify me for asking, I’m trying to understand the newsstand craze. Good luck.
