BitterOldMan Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Dan DeCarlo OA is cheaper than the comic books. Here is some OA from Jetta #6 Page 2. Jetta started with issue #5, so what happened to issues 1 through 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzutak Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Jetta started with issue #5, so what happened to issues 1 through 4? Pines had a habit of assigning #5 to the first issue of many/most of the titles published under their Standard Comics brand emblem, including such 1949-1956 titles as Adventures Into Darkness, Battlefront, Best Romance, Crime Files, Date with Danger, Exciting War, Fantastic Worlds, Gang World, Intimate Love, Jet Fighters, Jetta, Joe Yank, Little Angel, Lost Worlds, Lucy Duck, New Romances, Out of the Shadows, Peter Pig, Popular Romance, Ricky, Roger Dodger, Sniffy the Pup, This is War, Thrilling Romances, Today's Romance, The Unseen, Who is Next, etc). Many/Most means many/most, as there are exceptions to the starting-at-#5 rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many/Most means many/most, as there are exceptions to the starting-at-#5 rule. That was probably done to skirt some postal regulation or fee; much like EC would switch title names but keep the numbering got no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many/Most means many/most, as there are exceptions to the starting-at-#5 rule. That was probably done to skirt some postal regulation or fee; much like EC would switch title names but keep the numbering got no. I've heard that several publishers did this to make it look like a successful, ongoing title, rather than a "maybe this will work and maybe it won't -- it's just starting so we'll see." (Some also started the ball rolling at #10.) The idea also had to do with marketing to shop owners who weren't sure what to place prominently on their newsstand display. The thinking was that if something is already at #5 or #10, it must be popular enough to put where people can see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
