    Iron Man

    Character » Iron Man appears in 11210 issues.

    Tony Stark was the arrogant son of wealthy, weapon manufacturer Howard Stark. Tony cared only about himself, but he would have a change of heart after he was kidnapped by terrorists and gravely injured. Pressured to create a weapon of mass destruction, Stark instead created a suit of armor powerful enough for him to escape. Tony used his vast resources and intellect to make the world a better place as The Invincible Iron Man. Stark's super hero identity led him to become a founding member of the Avengers.

    I'm trying to find some info on a comic I have that has different cover art than what is on the common issue. The comic is Marvel Vol 2 No 1 Iron Man Nov 1996. The comic is identical in every way except for the cover art and isbn #. I've added three pics that show the series, isbn number and covers. The cover in question is on the left.

    Thanks for any help.

    @blclemon75: Its probably a variant cover or a second print.

    @guttridgeb: I don't think it's a second print because EVERYTHING is the same in the copyright description. Is/was marvel known for offering multiple covers on their comics ? Would this cover have any value since I can't find another single example of it anywhere on the net or in cover archives ?

    @blclemon75: Marvel does do a lot of variant covers now. I'm not sure about then but it is probable. Most variant covers are a bit more expensive than their normal counterparts. I don't know about other currencies but in England they are only a few more pounds.
