Reading the story costs a fraction of owning the issue. Both routes are on every file.

Affiliate links. ComicRecord shows no prices and no census data; the listings speak for themselves.

Confirm the UPC box: a publisher mark instead of a barcode means direct edition, a barcode means newsstand.
Glossy covers of this era show edge chipping easily. Check black edges closely in the photos.
Check the staples and centerfold; heavily read anniversary and key issues loosen there first.
