  1. Thanks, adamstrange - the link is great, and it looks like the copy is complete. Now I don't suppose anybody has a loose extra cover hanging around? :-)
  2. Long-time browser/lurker here... first time poster. I managed to find a Mystic Comics (1940) #1 today at an antique shop for $2... Unfortunately, the story isn't quite as good as it sounds - it's a coverless copy, and as someone who mostly collects Bronze Age comics, I'm trying to figure out if the copy's complete... Apologies if this is the wrong spot, but I figured this thread would have the real experts... My copy has page 1 with the opening of the "Flexo the Rubber Man" story, and a back page with an ad for Marvel Comics and Daring Mystery Comics. I assume this means I am not missing first or last pages, but I suppose it's possible there is a missing contents page, and further ads or other material at the back... I also wonder how many pages the 3 X's story in the centre runs... My copy has an 8-page story running across the middle of the book, but the stripped-down "Golden Age-style" flow from panel to panel leaves open the possibility that this could have been a 12-page story originally, or that other pages (ads, etc.) could have been in a centrefold that's gone missing. Does anybody here know this book well enough to give me some insight into how complete this book is? Alternately, can you refer me to a source online where I could do further research? Finally, I'm located in Canada, but I assume this is not a Canadian white - I have several of those, and the ad I mentioned above suggests to me that this book is a regular US edition. Does that seem a reasonable assumption? All comments, suggestions and redirects welcomed, and thanks in advance!
