    intended to bring down incoming groups of Soviet bombers with one shot!

    Always love your research and insights. :applause:

    This tidbit is all the more important since the Australian version you posted sadly lost the bomber (seen very small in the upper left) from the original. I assume that happened when they layered over the stat with the Rangers logo but it's quite a loss for the story-telling of the cover.

    with rarely any continuation (the Sub-Mariner - Human Torch epic battle being a rare exception).

    You can find such continuations here and there. You can find it in Tarzan where a story's starting point can be a reference to an earlier issue. I just read # 31 IIRC where the professor comes back to Tarzan and mentions that the dinosaur egg samples they collected together 4 or 5 issues back were broken in transit to the US and they need to go back to collect more. This is just one instance but it's not uncommon in Tarzan. The first 20+? issues of Lassie are one long continuity. The Our Gang stories have a similar flavor. Then, also from Dell, you have to consider the long serials in the back-up features. Brothers of the Spear in Tarzan or Young Hawk in the Lone Ranger were shorter stories that ran as serials so you need to read from one issue to the next to accompany the characters on their journey / adventures.

    I promised this and we haven't gotten it done yet, but it's still in the works.

    Thank you for the update. Honestly, I know that's a feature I will use if ever put in place but I don't know how you'll be able to make it work on your end. It seems "risky" for the lack of a better word as customers, as you know, can be unreliable. Certainly far less reliable than you guys are. (worship)
