BLBcomics-migration Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 What is neat about this book to me, as a comics historian, is the June 23 arrival date stamp, when the distributor got it in to place out for sale. Sept cover date June 23 arrival three month lag time So many times i see references from people who date the books to when the date is printed on the book, what ever that may be When ever one sees a printed cover date on a comic book, always date it at least two months prior, and in many cases 3 months prior to cover date, for when it was on the stands initially for sale to be enjoyed by fans & readers. It is a rubber stamp for this arrival date - can't quite make out the letters following? Is that So. N.C. ?? - mostly i think one sees hand written arrival dates - rubber stamp usage this early indicates a busy distributor trying to save time = money Some times one is trying to date the appearance of some new technology debuts to when that same tech concept begins to be used in the comic books of the time span under scrutiny. A good example is when Atomic Bomb pics began in the comic books late 1945 - a huge avalanche soon after the two used in World War Two over Japan. But one has to date the stuff in the comic book several months in advance for proper context. This Capt America 6 was on the stands almost six months before Pearl Harbor. Stuff like this got American teens all worked up and PH was merely a trigger. June 23 - got on stands maybe a week later after processing Thanks BZ, more pieces of the puzzle fit into recognizable shapes by looking at the books, every new book which hasn't been shared contains some bit of data which helps one examining the arcane nature of comics archeology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 BangZoom, whatever happened to the Pep 22 you spoke of about a week ago? And where's the Jackpot 4? You are my #1 poster of all time here (slightly nudging out OldGuy and Darthdiesel) If you look back over the posting for the past few days, you'll see that the comics are going up, more or less, alphabetically. "D" is for Detective (#27). After your blasphemy in the other thread regarding Batman!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwoogieman Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Keep going, Bangzoom, in whatever order you prefer. I for one don't mind waiting for the bigger books to be posted. I do want to get a look at the Action1 (if you have one that is, not sure if you've revealed that info yet) and the Detective 27, but the aaannnn-ti-ci-pa-tion is fine too.
