This is really interesting, both in macro and for the board itself. Action 10 seems weirdly underrepresented, despite having the highest print run of (at least) the first ten issues.

I’m still trying to get the production numbers for 11-24, but I’m running into inconsistency issues on a consensus of the number as a whole. I’ve also thought about breaking these issues down further with price comparisons from the 70s until now, other pop numbers and possibly start the cross referencing further.

I bet (not sure) Tec22 and Adventure 33 all share the same back cover. It may not be cheap and it may not be quick, but you have a good chance at a successful marriage.

No it would be MF 38, Tec 22, or Ad33 with matching inside and outside BCs http://www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/newsstand.php?publisher=dc&type=calendar&month=11&year=1938&sort=alpha Johnson Smith dept 8 N 12 is the correct code for these ads.
