Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1 1984 Error

Spidey63 Posts: 100 7/11/2021	Spidey63 Posts: 100 I have multiple copies which I think are all 1st printings, because they either have a UPC code or white Spidey face on the cover box. I bought them over the years from different places and all of mine have this error. Which I thought was a coincidence. Because you would think such a random mix would have some of each. It's my understanding the error was corrected on 2nd printings? I don't know because I do not seem to have a second print. But it looks like the error is being promoted to get a higher price for sales. But if all 1st printings have this error, then it's not so unusual and maybe the error version is the norm? Thank you if you have any insight on this.

"White Helmet" Galactus did not seem like a big deal. I suppose Galactus can wear any color helmet he wants! But if it is an error, it is an error. As the website says it is both in direct and newsstand.
