Hi! I came across a Gold Key 15 cent comic book published in 1968. I can't find a copy, image or value anywhere, and it's not listed in Overstreet or any of the top guides. I've researched and found that Gold Key, in addition to their regular 12 cent covers, did publish 15 cent variant price covers on 57 of their 1968 issues from April to August, but that's all I know about it!
Does anyone have any information related to the values of these books, or quantities published?
The specific issue I found was Bugs Bunny #117. The only difference in the book I have and the one below is that mine has a cover price of 15 cents. Please help!

I checked three sources and by issue #120 all Bugs Bunny comics were $0.15.

It could well be that for issues # 116 - #118 the published mixed 12 and 15 cent copies.
My opinion is that there is no value difference here between issues of different cover prices. This was not an unusual practice for a price change to be spread over a couple of months. Heck, it may have been different publishers or a different run with same publisher.
A few Marvel books in the 1970's they put out two different prices for the months - the 35 cent ones are worth more than the 30 cent ones - just on rarity (Ref Amazing Spider-Man #170 and 171 as an example.). This is the exception, not the rule. As a general rule there is no value change due to cover price.
