Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror #6 Non-Direct Edition (Sept 2000)
Instead of Treehouse of Horror #6 in the upper left corner the comic sent through
the traditional distribution channels had Simpsons Comics Annual 2000. One may
theorize that this was geared to the casual buyer, for whom this description might
provide greater appeal 1) not knowing they were 'missing' five prior issues and
2) knowing they might only be getting 'hooked' on an annual purchase.
