Avengers 88 is listed as having a second printing. Does anyone know if this was a modern reprinting or if it occurred immediately after the first printing. Anyone know how to tell the second printing from the first?

 

Interesting. Jeff, I found this info on mycomicshop.com:

 

Avengers (1963-1996 1st Series) 2nd Printing #88

Marvel: 1994

Original cover price: $0.15

More information... This is the 2nd printing. The 2nd printing has a stridex ad on the back cover.

 

I was looking through a friends duplicates recently to buy and spotted a beautiful copy of the book. I got really excited till he pointed out it was a second print doh!

 

Do you still have access to it? I'd be interested.

 

No. What details do you want to know? I could ask him next time I go see him. Neil

I'm perpetauuly I terest in getting the best looking, highest graded copy available for any Avengers book associated with the main title. Not too focused on mini-series. Right now, I'm looking for any of these second prints in 9.8 condition. I don't mind paying a reasonable finder's fee for them.

Gotta show off my newest acquisition. Mega kudos to Tom/TopNotchMan from Top Notch Comics for helping me track it down!

Agreed! Not only are they nice books, but this has always been my favourite Avengers era. I get a little frisson of pleasure every time I see those covers!

 

Hmmmm... I wonder if "frisson" has ever been used in reference to comics before. I'll have to do a search on the board.
