The very first pair of DC comics with compatible back covers are New Comics #11 and More Fun Comics #16. Entirely interchangeable. Yes, you have to match the exterior AND the interior, as well as the identifiers like the Dept. # in the Johnson & Smith and Remington Typewriter ads. After that first DC love connection, the next hookup where the back cover planets align is New Adventure Comics #16 and More Fun Comics #21. Detective Comics is being published at this time as well, but it has a different back cover than the other two. After that, New Adventure Comics #20 and More Fun Comics #25 are interchangeable. DC#8 from the same month has nearly identical back covers, with the exception of a different Dept. # on the Johnson Smith Ad. The June, 1938 issues of DC#16, NAC#27, and MFC#32 have completely identical back covers. Action Comics #1 came out this month, but it's got a different back cover. November 1938, all DC issues from this month have interchangeable back covers. Action 6, Adventure 32, Detective 21, and More Fun 37. December 1938 - Action 7, Adventure 33, Detective 22, More Fun 38... All identical back covers. March 1939 - Action 10, Adventure 36, Detective 25, More Fun 41... All identical back covers April 1939 - Movie Comics and All-American Comics join the line-up. They have unique back covers, but Action 11, Adventure 37, Detective 26 and More Fun 42 have identical covers. May 1939 - Movie and All-American have different back covers this month, however Action 12, Adventure 38, More Fun 43 and Detective Comics #27, yes that one, all share the same back cover. I think we all know which comics we'd be ripping the back cover off of to complete that TEC27. June 1939 - Again, Movie and All-American are incompatible. Action 13, Detective 28 and More Fun 44 are identical, but Adventure 39 has a different interior. Superman and the New York World's Fair issues came out this month, but they have unique covers. July 1939 - Once more, Movie and All-American are in a world of their own. Action 14, Tec29, MF45 and Adventure 40 all share the same back cover. Note the obvious winner there for back cover indian leg wrestle. August 1939 - Act15, TEC30, MF46, Adv41 - All identical back covers. September 1939 - Mutt & Jeff joins the line-up, but it's back cover is a single page strip on the back, and a blank interior. ACT16, TEC31, MF47, ADV42 - All identical/interchangeable. All American and Movie are still doing their own thang but this is the last issue of Movie Comics. October 1939 - She's a lightnin' loadin', sweet-shootin carbine! Daisy Rifle Ads make their back cover debut. All American starts running the same ads as the others, but different dept. # on the interior back cover on #7. ACT17, ADV43, TEC32, MF48 have interchangeable back covers. Superman #2's interior back cover has the same ad, but different Dept number from the rest. November 1939 - ACT18, ADV44, TEC33, MF49 identical. All American 8 not. December 1939 - ACT19, ADV45, TEC34, MF50 identical back covers. AA#9? Nope. January 1940 - Double Action #2 came out, Flash Comics #1 and Superman #3 in addition to the regulars. Again, ACT20, ADV46, TEC35, MF51 have matching back covers. No ads on the back of Double Action 2. Totally different ads on Superman 3 and Flash #1 Is also different. I think that's about enough for now. This is why I never ever turn my nose up at very poor or even coverless golden aged books, you're only a borrowed back cover away from a 0.5 grade. If you have a good back cover match with the interior/front, and you pull it together nicely, I know from experience that a 2.0 universal is easily achievable. Wow! That's some great detective work! Thanks! aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a consolidated list of full covers only. Again, I haven't listed the coverless as I imagine it'd really be tougher to find a cover to a coverless than vice versa. These are also issue that may only need a centerfold where a coverless would be useful. Looks like catrick 339 either has a cover for Superman 5 or a coverless Superman 5 not sure what he has but a coverless superman 5 would be needed here twice over.

Robot Man Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Another success story. Thanks to @Drgoldage, I now have an interior for my Action #85 cover. Seems like I’ve had it forever. Sometimes things end up where they belong. Thank you sir! Now, I will have to put on my Pep beanie, dig out my Superman Member kit and decode this message.

Popular Post gadzukes Posted November 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2022 A successful marriage!!! I've had the CF for a Marvel Mystery 83 for at least a decade now. I finally found a copy missing the CF to marry it into. Yessssss Not a bad looking copy.

I recently found a CF for my MM #90. Also looked for many years.

Popular Post mwotka Posted December 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2022 Not too many successes in the marriage dept but here is one. If you had told me the odds of marrying anything I have, matching up a Star Ranger 2 would be pretty low down the list, maybe at the bottom. But I found the cover less than a year after deciding to buy an interior. Turned out pretty nice! Now I just need a cover for my AMF v2#1...
