I remember noticing that back in the 1980s. I had no idea what it was then. Lot's of cut and paste activity. What's funny, is that is how all the cool kids also customized their comics back in the day. I also had fun creating mash-up covers.

What's funny, is that is how all the cool kids also customized their comics back in the day. I also had fun creating mash-up covers. When I was studying the original MMC logo from Timely I noticed that each title logo was slightly different from issue to issue, which led me to believe that for the earliest issues they may have hand drawn them, accounting for the variation between them before they standardized the Marvel Mystery Comics logo after the initial dozen issues or so. This sort of lends some evidence that they didn't even expect these magazines to last very long in publication, because they were literally just winging it and throwing stuff out to see what would stick. Today, if a publication comes out they've probably got a plan for a print run for several issues and would have had logos standardized before the first issue was released. Back then it was the wild west. Wild stuff. KirbyJack and Primetime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
