Forgive my ignorance, but is this a UK edition of Spider-Man #60 (July 1996)?

The cover price states "Only $1.50 U.S." And there is a UK price next to the Canadian price. The indicia does state that it was "Printed in the U.S.A." However, I do not find it listed in the Comics Price Guide.

Just curious.

pretty sure this is just the regular US newsstand edition. found several online and none said anything about it being a UK edition. (always try a google search or comics.org before you post.) a true UK edition would have the UK price featured, not the US price. CPG is working on adding newsstand editions to the database, so you might be able to submit it as a variant using the 'report missing variant' tab under the Variants tab.

I guess one thing that is confusing me is the cover price of $1.50. According to the CPG page, the cover price was $1.95. Might this be a price variant then?

Many thanks for the response.

for a little while around that part of the run, Marvel lowered the newsstand issues to $1.50. see the gallery pages on comics.org, and you'll see a number of them that they have newsstand pics of are 1.95 for Direct and $1.50 for newsstands. they don't have the newsstand for #60 tho. and later you'll see direct editions for 1.95 and newsstands for 1.99. so no, it's not a price variant, it's just the newsstand issue.
