Can't think of more than 4 of any others but looking.

The Photo Journal Guide to Alan Class Comics only shows the 8p version of 96. However both 6p and 8p versions exist (as you say). It appears that the 6p was blacked out on some issues and an 8p price squeezed in. I wonder why this happened?

Sorry that I can't get the images to enlarge. They are both from feebay.

Getting and reading Silver Surfer #10 on holiday in 1973 turned me into a comic collector. 
Here’s Alan’s version (compared to original version although there is a bit more building on the left looks like Alan has lost a soldier as well as another one cropped out of the bottom);

Nice 

My Uncanny Tales #104 arrived, so I have three of the four now:

  

It's actually a great example of where the reprint gives you more of the original artwork than the original:

  

Cool. 

[mikeyc67]

Very cool Space War/Uncanny Tales

New Marvel covers today

 

 

[Garystar]

Couple more classic Steranko covers;

Although original SHIELD #6 is always described as a classic cover and often pastiched it’s one of by least favourites by Jim. 

[mikeyc67]

Agreed Gary not my favourite either

Around 1975, I was visiting my Uncles in Minnesota and went to a church  rummage sale where someone had donated a stack of these small, weird comics.  I was ll excited until I saw they were in black and white. I'm not sure why, but that really upset me and I passed on them. I ended up buying a few coverless Tarzan comics instead. To this day, I'm still not  fan of B&W books.

I know what you mean, these stories were intended to be in colour so you don’t get the proper finished product. On the plus side you do get to see the art in all its glory, unobstructed and no colour distractions - like mini artist editions.

[mikeyc67]

Got this Spidey today - another one off the list

 

[Get Marwood & I]

Really annoyed to have missed these two on the Bay recently, given my fondness for a PE.

No idea how they got past the Marwood search antennae... 

 

Stoopid faulty Marwood search antennae.....

[Get Marwood & I]

Still on Classy printing errors, Alan vets some of his wares....

    
             "OK, 8p...nice colour strike"                            "25p...nice colour strike"                                   "15p...ni-oh, f it"

[mikeyc67]

Thanks to Garystar for these

Just missed out on the Uncanny Tales 21 unfortunately!

You’re welcome @mikeyc67thanks for your interest and glad they’ve found a good home. I’ve acquired rather than collected Alan’s and although a few years ago I did think I might go for all the Marvel covers I know I would never pay the price key reprints are now selling for. As part of downsizing my collection thought I’d let them go, although I have held back a few which have memories for me. 
I did get some interest from US, Canada and Europe in my Alan’s.

Nice to see the club members helping each other out 

And three have become four, courtesy of a visit from
