When the Master edition was first released, one of the issues I bought had duplicate and missing pages.

X-Men: Earth's Mutant Heroes: Due to printing errors, some copies have pages in the wrong order and others have the same but also with some pages missing and some duplicated (I have one of each of these unplanned variants).
Could you be more specific? I have two print error versions but never pinned down how many there are or what they are specfically.

I'll be away from my collection the next few days but if I forget, remind me around Saturday and I'll hunt down my copies and go into more detail then.

I'm still busy & having fun researching ROM Spaceknight, including how he's represented in Handbooks & internationally, so both of these areas you've mentioned here are of great interest to me.

On US-originating Variants, in trying to collect all versions of ROM's prominent appearances, I'm aware of the following editions of OHOTMU v1 #9, 10 & 15: Newsstand cover, Direct Market cover, Canadian-price cover, and Mark Jeweler insert version (glossy ad spread for jewelry stapled in the center of newsstand-covered books sold on military bases; these comics sometimes can be identified by a tiny color ink stamp the cashier would put on the cover or inside page). I've managed to own Canadian-priced editions of all 3, but no luck finding Mark Jewelers yet; they should exist based on mycomicshop.com having this: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=23533553.

Does anyone know any more about this Test Market version, and if there are any other OHOTMU issues like this or just the one? https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=12772381

Moving on to translated editions...you'll be pleased to know, there are a lot! French comic companies Lug (started in 1987) and Semic (completed in 1995) put out "Encyclopedie Marvel Universe", six thin TPBs of profiles directly translated into French. ROM made the cover of one of them as a piece of clipart from one of his comics; see for yourself at http://issuu.com/yodeo/docs/name2aa394 (if you poke around there, you can browse through all the French handbook volumes; I think they used a mix of profiles from original series up to master editions).

Many countries used Handbook entries as filler, extra features between their serializations of American comic stories. Semic did this in France, publisher Editora Abril did so in Brazil/Portuguese, and Condor Verlag in Germany. I've got five 1987 Spider-Man comics from Greece (Kabanas Hellas printed them weekly) that each have a one-or-two-page article about ROM; combined, they are his Deluxe Edition Handbook profile translated into Greek!

OK I have that version! I actually have two copies

I wonder if it's worth anything, being a misprint and all.

Thanks for the reply!

Also, the newstand versions of the recent Handbooks are variants, at least in terms of cover price. They were usual about $2 more than the direct versions. Also, the newstand version of X-Men: Earth's Mutant Heroes has the pages in the correct order.

I'm posting this in more than one thread just to ensure that the message is seen:

Andy has been displaced due to a fire in his building and currently has no access to his cxpulp account and will be heading out of town shortly afterwards. He will try to catch up before he leaves town if his current situation is corrected before then.

*bump* Hey Andy I was hoping for some comment from you on the foreign translations I wrote about, you said you'd love it if they exist.

Thank you, ROM Curator. I'm still displaced by that fire Michael mentioned above until early July (plus I was just on a 15-day trip) so I've let my various updating of the different threads slide, but I will add your information to the top off the thread when I have more time to focus on stuff like that.
 
 
 
 

Hey guys,can somebody tell me how I can add a picture ?

Are there any other recent newsstand variants besides X-Men: Earth's Mutant Heroes? Since there's one, I'd assume there would be more. And they are probably rarer than the regular direct edition, similar to Ultimate Fallout 4.

I doubt that with the amount of translation needed that there are versions translated into other languages (though I'd love it if there were) but maybe there are more other English language variants?

That may or may not have been true when I wrote the above, but the original series has been translated into Spanish and published by Panini as Fichero Oficial del Universo Marvel, published in May of this year. Hardcover
