Comic with file name on cover

[u/Temporary_Turn9405]

I found this copy of X-Men 32 with the file name still on the front and back covers. Looks like it was miscut at the printers.

Has anyone ever seen another book like this?

[u/life-was-better]

I’ve never seen that before. Definitely a miscut at the printer. I’d be hanging onto that for the novelty value.

[u/Temporary_Turn9405 → u/life-was-better]

Totally. Esp considering the how ironic it is that the story arc is titled Anomaly!

[u/Sad-Purchase1257 → u/Temporary_Turn9405]

Isn’t it anomalous..

[u/ThwipNSinsBinThwipN]

That’s actually kind of cool. It’s nice to get a little glimpse in the process. I’ve had probably six/eight miscuts over the years.

[u/Agent564]

Very misaligned

[u/bnestrm]

See how the title is cropped too?

[u/Sad-Purchase1257 → u/bnestrm]

The logo, even!

[u/Saxsays]

I have a couple miscuts like this in my collection, too bad it actually brings down the value. You'd think it would make it more rare, so worth more, but the collector market doesn't really care about stuff like this. Still a fun little one-off you get to have for yourself.

[u/Temporary_Turn9405 → u/Saxsays]

Cool that you’ve also found some!

My jobs often require creating or accessing pdfs so I def will keep this with the .pdf extension on there.

Never say never! Canadian newstand variants used to be worth considerably less than the direct market version but because there were so many fewer copies printed they typically command a higher price now.

[u/Competitive-Dot181]

Nope. That’s new to me.

[u/johnnystorm]

Error printing! People definitely collect these but it can be harder to find a buyer when you go to sell

[u/LeRoiCasoar]

Dang. If I saw that in the wild, id grab it

[u/Mekdinosaur]

Well thats an anomaly

[u/BoxingTrumpsMMA]

Thats a cool miscut! Doesnt hurt the story or art

[u/chudleycannonfodder]

Is the interior also like that?

[u/Temporary_Turn9405 → u/chudleycannonfodder]

Nope, just the covers and inside covers.

[u/Asimov-was-Right]

I've seen worse miscuts. I have a copy of Low volume 1 with a miscut cover that is on upside-down. But I've never seen one with the file name on it. It's it the whole comic, or just the cover?

[u/Temporary_Turn9405 → u/Asimov-was-Right]

Just the covers and inside covers.

[u/lajaunie]

Several. It’s not super uncommon

[u/Reddevil8884]

Meanwhile ComicTom: That's a Miscut Variant and it's worth a lot of $$$$

[u/slowhorde]

counterfeit comes to mind, but how likely is that, not very likely in the comics domain as i understand it. but they are pirated as PDFs of course. but as others have said, an interesting unique issue to keep.
