The second from the bottom on the left of the direct editions confuses me though? Nothing that indicates direct? If not it must get confused for newsstand all the time.

On that one, the second set of number in the bar is more than 2 numbers in the set, as you can see on the newsstand side of things it aways ended with 2 number in the second set Legion of Goom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it when it was maybe 3-4 years old, and knowing the store I got it from and the condition I suspect it was former shelf stock. But that's just an informed guess.

Same as any other Double Cover, I presume; only it happened exactly as they were changing plates from the Direct Editions to the Newsstand Editions. I'm not sure about this specific period, but I always understood that the covers were printed separately - all the interiors were printed the same and then the covers added. In practice, maybe a pile of covers was added to the cover-adding apparatus (I know all the technical terms ) which comprised the last batch of one cover type and the first of the next. The usual double cover causing glitch kicked in at the point the first and last were fed through, hence the result of one newsstand, one direct. A rare occurrence I'll bet, but maybe the presence of two separate cover groups added together actually increased the possibility, through some tiny mid-run paper misalignment, of the double covers happening in the first place. I may have just speculated a load of old ill-informed rubbish there - which wouldn't be the first time - but that's how I see it happening in my mind.
