I have 2 copies Of Korak #56.

1. Appears to be the standard copy, 20 cent cover price above issue number on cover, Feb-Mar 1974 in indicia

2. No cover price, different ads in different places, different interior covers, back cover, bottom of indicia reads " Published and Reprinted by National Book Store, Inc.

Same story art all the way through.

Do we have another other like that in the database so I can add it with similar formatting?

That's a tough one, Mike. Front cover is the same except for no price? Is there any way you can tell by the ads in it what year it was from?

that portion of the indica is actually blank, the info was left out at printing i think.

Looking closer, it appears to be from the Philipines... so foreign comic...

Oh, that explains it! We are actually allowed to add foreign comics now so it would probably be a variant I think? I don't know what the rules are right now concerning foreign books. Maybe an Approver could chime in?

These are very rare and highly sought after foreign editions. There is a tag on the database for them, but only three have been submitted:

About ten years ago I came across three of these at a comic show. I didn't know what they were (since I didn't know the right keywords to do an ebay search), so listed all three as a Buy It Now for $25. I knew something was up when the view and watch count shot up and they sold within 12 hours. I reached out to the buyer afterward and he filled me in on the details.

Holy Cow I want one of these!
