Interesting indeed.  Is it the normal page count?

Not sure what the count should be...

Well, according to the Grand Comics Database (GCD), it's supposed to be 36 pages in total including the front and back covers:  :gossip:

https://www.comics.org/issue/6205/

Looks like there's supposed to be 3 separate PL stories in there............a 9-pager entitled Scroundels and Scandals, a 10-pager entitled Condemned Venus, and then followed up by a 10-pager enntitled A Shroud For the Bride.  So, I don't see any room for duplicate stories or pages in there unless its a manufacturing error.  (shrug)

You can definitely never ever go wrong with any copy of Mystery Men #1.  (thumbsu

Especially when it comes from the highly desirable Allentown Collection to boot and a CGC single highest graded copy at that.  :luhv:  :takeit:

Great copy of a rare book! Don’t see this one often — only 9 on the census.

Thanks! The quality of my Fox collection ranges from Mile High down to .5; with so many of these you have to take what you can get when it comes up. Only 6 more issues to go....

Take what you can get -- don't I know it!!

6 more issues?!? What will you have completed exactly with those last 6 issues? Each and every Fox book ever published? Just through the first wave of the demise of the Fox books in Jan/Feb 1942? Other?

Woud the majority of these 6 be at the end of the Mystery Men run as these later issues appear to be tougher to find as compared to the early issues.?  hm

Actually no, I have been grabbing those every chance I could knowing they would be tough. I only have one late run issue to get with the rest being fairly "common" if there is such a  thing with Fox books.
