Does anyone know which archives have gone through multiple printings already?

With Batman Archives volume 1 coming back to press (as a second printing I think), which other archives have gone through multiple printings? Is the New Teen Titans Archives vol. 1 still the first printing?

DC did a great idea with reducing Batman Archives vol. 1's cover price in October 2001 at the $19.95 US/$32.95 Canada which apparently did well, selling off the remaining excess stock of first printings. The second printing will only bear this reduced price on initial direct sales pre-orders, with the remaining overprint back to the standard $49.95 US/$82.00 Canada cover price. I hope DC plans to do this price reduction on other, current out of print archive volumes like they said they may do following the announcement of Batman Archives vol. 1 going back to press recently.

Hi guys, long time lurker on the board actually posts!

I found it very interesting to see that the Legion Archives have all had multiple printings up until Vol 9. Vol 10, I'm presuming, is the corrected printing?

I knew the Legion Archives must have had decent sales, but I never realised that they were that popular!

Has there ever been any type of survey showing the various Archives demographics?

And how many volumes are generally released per printing?

Demographics? You need DStepp's website at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/dstepp14/DCArchives.htm Click the "5th Annual Survey Results" link. Should be the first link labeled Here.

Yes, the 2nd printing of "Legion, V10" is the corrected version.

How many copies per printing? Good question. At least 3000. How many more is known only to DC.

Welcome aboard Paul! Lurk no more!
