Dark Horse Aliens vs Predator Hard Cover Graphic Novel Signed Numbered 1991

Description: Dark Horse Comics Aliens vs Predator Hard Cover Graphic Novel Signed and Numbered - 1991. Signed by Randy Stradley, Phil Norwood and Chris Warner. Little sign of aging or handling. Dust jacket is clean and maintains the same shade of color as the book it protects. There are often inquiries about whether this book is a "First Print" or "Second Print". Here is what I know given discussions with other collectors who own or have sold this book. This signed/numbered hardcover is always a "Second Print". If you search on the ISBN (1-878574-27-2) for this printing it generally shows a softcover printing from the same year. As the original owner/purchaser of this book, I recall both versions and I wonder if the softcover printing is referred to as the "First Printing" despite the hardcover being more prestigious in appearance and feature. I've read that bindings (i.e. paperback vs hardcover) can change between printings for books so perhaps this is the case here where the "First Printing" was the mass produced version and the "Second Printing" was the limited more prestigious one. In any event, I've never found evidence of there being a hardcover "First Printing" and find it strange that there would be two signed/limited edition printings in 1991. Until someone can say otherwise, I am listing this on the assumption that if you want this awesome signed/numbered Aliens Vs. Predator collectible piece, you will always be buying a "Second Print". I'd be happy to hear from anyone who has other information to share on this topic that either supports or discards this reasoning.
