Volumes 34#8, 35#1, 37#1 had two covers, one for East Coast and the other for rest of the world. From October 2005 Surfer had different covers. One for subscribers and the other for news stand sales. Subscribers version had their address printed on the bottom of cover in a white box. January 2008 had a Bruce Irons and a Andy Irons cover. Volume 50#8 August 2009 had four different covers. In October 1997 they decided to produce an oversized issue. This ran each October from 1997 to 2001 then they changed it to the August edition and it ran from 2002 to 2018. The October 1999 issue with the DUKE on the cover is very collectible. Wanted 1978 and 2010 Annual, Hot 100 from 2009 and 2010. Various calendars 1963,64,65,67 to 74 and 1981.
