Issue Notes

This issue of Comic Reprints is an exact reprint of Fawcett Publications’ Wow Comics #nn (#1) (Winter, 1940-41).

The only differences are:

- the entire issue, except for the color cover, is in black and white
- the inside front cover is an ad for "OL' TIME RADIO in the form of ‘INSTANT LOAD’ CASSETTE" from "REMEMBER RADIO, INC."
- the inside back cover is an ad for Comic Reprints ([1] – [10])

There are no indicia in this issue; neither the original information nor new information is listed. There is no mention of Nostalgia, Inc. as the publisher of this reprint in the issue. However, it definitely is an issue from the Comic Reprints series; it is advertised as such in the in-house ads in issues [8] – [11] and in the “NOTES FROM A COMIC BOOK FREAK” editorial in “The Best of…Captain Marvel”.

***There is no cover price on this comic except for the original 10 cents. The price was given as:

$3.00 or 3 for $8.00 or 6 for $15.00 or 9 for $24.00 in the in-house ads in [8] – [11] and in the editorial in “The Best of… Captain Marvel”.
