A first printing is the original release of a comic book; whereas, a second printing is the second batch of comics produced. First printings are generally more valuable than the second printings.
The main difference between a 1st printing and a 2nd printing in comic books is that a 1st printing is the initial run of a comic book issue, while a 2nd printing is a subsequent print run of the same issue due to high demand. The cover of a 2nd printing often indicates that it is a later edition, which can impact its collectibility and value.
I believe the difference is the condition of the comic. One mint-condition comic will cost more then a poor condition comic. It also depends on the store and what they decide to price it.
