    12,441,600 ways

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have 6! ways of arranging the different Spiderman comics. We also have 5! ways of arranging the different Archie comics, and we have 4! ways of arranging the different Garfield comics. Since we have 3 different items, we have 3! ways of arranging them. We also have 1 ways of arranging the covers to face up and 1 way for them to face the same direction. So, the total number of ways of arranging the comics in a stacked pile with covers facing up and in the same direction is 3!6!5!4! * 1 * 1 = 12,441,600 ways
