Just noticed that the preview image I've seen for MMW: The Human Torch TPB release shows the cover as Strange Tales #107, rather than #101, which I thought was on the HC release. I don't mind the switch, as the Subby vs. Torch image is nifty, but I wondered how often just such a cover change has happened regarding HC to TPB Masterworks? Anyone know?

Most of them are the same; a few that they changed (often for the better, in my opinion) include Spider-Man V4 & 7, Daredevil V3, and Fantastic Four V2 and 8. There may be more. So it's not very often, but often (especially Spider-Man V4) I'm shocked that the new cover wasn't the original choice.



Yes, I really prefer the Ditko cover to ASM #33 on the paperback of ASM V4----love the color. Also, much prefer the Goblin vs. Spidey image on ASM V7---very cool. I noticed that Uncanny X-Men V3 switched from the cover of #112 to #115, FF V2(#11 changed to #12), FF V5 (#48 changed to #49) and FF V7 (#66 changed to #61). FF V8 (isssue #73) stayed the same, didn't it? Thank Crom I'm not a rabid completist, as there's no way that I could afford all the variants in HC/TPB...!
