For whatever reason this daily number festival has gotten me back into logging in more regularly. Hope it lasts! I do miss the boards, just difficult to take the time some days... bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sweet Lou 14 Posted February 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2023 This cover really sticks out as an oddball in the JIM run.

May be a pre-implosion issue that they were using up, but this would still be odd for JIM and would have had to come from another title’s back log. That, or they got a head start on the sorts of stories we’d see shortly in very early TOS and TTA.

Another weird thing about this book is that "Three Who Vanished" was used again in Strange Tales #5, just a few months later: Does anyone know if they just recycled the title, or if they reprinted an entire story?

Sounds like one could be about them vanishing, the other from the perspective of said vanishers. Either way someone was maybe a bit lazy that month, at least when it came to coming up with a title. bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
