If you are counting “side bar” appearances, then, yes, MM8 would be the third Subby cover following MM 4 and 7...I need a CF to MM7 and four wraps to a MM5...oh, and a RR1 back cover 😂 I’ve always liked the side bar art on the MM8 cover. Especially the shark and Subby.

Cap 1/Mystic 5 is one of the rare months of interchangeable Timely back covers. Golden age DCs are the best books to play the back cover parts game with.

Unfortunately, no inside/outside BC combo from another timely will match with Marvel Mystery 8. Goodman was notorious for mix matching ads within the same month. Unlike DC, which typically always had the same matching back covers and matching coupon codes within the same month. here is the inside and outside BC for Marvel Mystery 8. The outside is a color ad for Mystic 3 and Daring 5. The closest you will find is a black and white version on the inside front cover of the beloved Marvel Mystery 9.

Besides the red pants error (corrected on the front cover in part to make purple), the 114 is the 1st Kirby Cap (imposter or not) in costume since Cap 10 from the Golden age. The interior panels are great with Ayers inks. Even Steve Rogers is first mentioned in the silver age ST 114 on the last page.

This has them all

1st Subby cover ever. The reds are commonly orangey on this book like issue 2. The trade value is very fair love the Death ☠️ Raider. Still, very pulpy cover and released exactly one year prior to Cap 1.

2.5 if the pin up was there. Otherwise it’s a 1.0 for me since it’s a non story page missing. If it was a story page missing, then poor (.5).
