Hey, I did a quick search but couldn't find if anyone has asked this before.
Basically, I've been sold a comc book and it was pretty expensive because it's apparently first print, or first edition, I don't know which of those is the right term.
I was wondering how I can tell if it really is a first print, possibly using the ISBN on the back?
 
I think on the newer comics it's on the barcode but in older ones you had to open it up and it was at the bottom of the first few pages where it shows where it was printed, etc.

The one I've got doesn't say what edition it is in either of those places. It does say when it was printed and the date is when the comic first came out.
