Hello

I have a copy of Thundercats #1 - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/thundercats/rnyr

It should be the 2nd print, .75 and no UPC: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/thundercats/1-2nd%20Print/pkvunqy

the clarification requested: the indicia does not indicate second printing , and in fact states for subscription that the price is .65 in US and .75 in Canada. It sucks if the indicia is wrong when we depend on it.

Fun Fact: A good example of wrong info in indica is the Jademan Comics title Drunken Fist. In the indicia it's called Drunken Kid #1.
I thought it might be a translation error, there is a character called Drunken Kid but shes a girl and isn't the primary character, as a friend of the boy who IS the main character but isn't named Drunken Fist. He inherited his fathers... Drunken Fist.. Someday maybe Wong Yuk-long will explain



Thank you

Edit: It;s not *apparently* Canadian - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/thundercats/pkwpit Issue 1 with UPC - but can this be Canadian Direct Market? No UPC and the price as indicated in the indicia suggest this highly

Thank you for directing me to that resource!

Issue Notes
Distributed in the United States as part of three packs of comics titled "Comics for Kids from Marvel Books." There is no second printing notation in the indicia. This variant is sometimes mistaken for a Canadian price variant.

There was no specific Canadian Direct Market printing by publishers. There was no reason to when the price tags were all displayed with pricing for the three different countries. The newsstand market had different requirements which include UPC and specific pricing. Eventually they scrapped the single price label for multi price.
