From 1981: The August cover-dated US MARVEL books carried this BULLPEN BULLETINS page, complete with an explanation of mysterious occurrences in the cover corner box.
I always bought my U.S. Marvels from WH Smith's and they always had the "CC" symbol. One thing that bugged me was the way the barcode was replaced by a Spidey face which seemed a bit childish - for me the barcode was modern and sophisticated and didn't mar the cover at all, in fact it enhanced it by making the comic seem more "grown-up".
