Comcast

I am new to this investing thing. I was looking at Comcast and it has two different stocks. One says Class A and the other says Special Class A. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the difference between the two are?

Class A Common Stock is usually the way to go. The other shares probably have some special provisions, like different priority for payout in a bankruptcy, for instance.
