In the first print run, the splash page of "Superman's Secret Sweetheart" is followed by pages 2-8 of "Superman's Forbidden Room," and vice versa. The logo on the corrected edition is red and white instead of red and yellow.

This corrected edition is still labeled "First Printing" inside, and has the same ISBN and barcode as the initial printing.
This issue is a variant of Showcase Presents: Superman Family (DC, 2006 series) #2.
