Exciting Comics #18 Question

[telerites]

Probably a dumb question but I just got a batch of books back. One was a copy of Exciting #18. When I looked through the census, I noticed two entries for this issue. One that is dated 3/1942 and one for 4/42. The 3/42 issue has had 3 copies graded and the 4/42 just one which appears to be this copy. Was this normal for a publisher to do this. Is this like a second printing?

 

I know about the October and November releases of Marvel Comics #1 but I would doubt sales of Exciting #18 would prompt another printing. All the books I have seen show April on the cover so should the ones that currently 3/42 actually be 4/42.

 

Just a CGC error? I actually have another copy of #18 in for grading now so I'm wondering what that label will say.

 

Slap me around for my ignorance and the banality of this post - it's Friday

I don 't know the answer but I have a March copy

Both of them have April on the cover.

Kinda odd because the word "April" is printed on the cover. I wonder if the indicia might say "March"? Or it could just be some more CGC label confusion.

The indicia of the copy scanned at digitalcomicmuseum says April. So does the GCD .

 

And the date for the previous issue is apparently March. ( GCD )

 

Not that any of that helps

I'm betting it's a matter of Kwality Control.

Seems to be a mistake then. There are a number of books where label screwups have resulted in census copies being divided across two entries.

Thanks folks. Looks like some Jethro Bodine ciphering was at play.

Hey Griff I'm glad you're still hooked on GA books and so involved. I like the nice Don Winslow books you're collecting. Best of luck building your collection
