Power Company seemed like it lasted longer because before it started, there were seven one-shots setting up each character. Then the 18 regular issues.
I just looked it up on MyComicShop. Kind of seems interesting.
Oops, I just remembered The Terrifics TP volume 4 finished the series with issues 19-30, so it's disqualified. Issues 28-30 were exclusive to the TP.
Browsing my comic database for short DC series, I'll list a bunch: Time Warp (1979, 5 issues), Babylon 5 (1995, 11 issues), Major Bummer (1997, 15 issues), Chase (1998, 10 total issues), Chronos...
Cool, the facsimiles are back. And one of them is a classic Limited Collectors' Edition!
Two straight months without facsimile issues. That's a bit surprising. My shop owner said they sell pretty well.
It's even worse than you think. Toward the end of the line, the Archives jumped to $59.99. Examples: Green Lantern vol. 7 and Justice League of America vol. 10.
At the very end, they jumped to...
Huh, no facsimiles in January, after a whole bunch in December. (And the Batman #428: Robin Lives quasi-facsimile is retrosolicited to December for some reason.)
Interesting strategy releasing facsimiles of the Batman: Year One story weekly. Currently, DC is reprinting the Wonder Woman: War of the Gods miniseries monthly, but not as facsimiles. I assume the...
I wish DC would do fewer $7 golden age facsimiles and more $4 silver/bronze age facsimiles.
Well, I have a correction to one of my previous corrections. Turns out the first Young Love series from 1949 is a separate volume (#1-73 from Crestwood/Prize) unrelated to DC's numbering. That line...
I finally reviewed your impressive list more closely. Blackhawk is listed with year 1957, which is when DC picked it up. Shouldn't that line be Uncle Sam Quarterly -> Blackhawk (1941), ahead of Star...
Kind of related to that, I remember in the early 90's DC would increase frequency on some titles during the Summer. Example: Batman would come out twice a month for three months. Making a total of 15...
Action passed Detective with #468 cover dated February 1977, when Detective skipped a month and stayed at #467.
Some titles went to a weird 8 issues per year schedule. According to MyComicShop, here are the totals per year: 1973-7, 1974-6, 1975-11, 1976-12, 1977-8, 1978-8, 1979-6, 1980-10, 1981-12.
I expect them to make it to 1100. It would take a seismic shift in DC's publishing operations to not make it.
Also, I like how Detective pulled back out ahead of Action a handful of years ago....
FYI: The October solicits revealed Superman will be double numbered at #7/850. It's unknown if this is a one-time money grab or will continue.
I see that volume of Wonder Woman went from 1-44, then 600-614 before hitting the wall known as New 52.
Poor Sgt. Rock. His title ended a few years before I got into comics. I vaguely remember seeing the Sgt. Rock Special reprint series (21 issues) when they were new, but foolishly didn't appreciate...
Air Wave, I'm starting to think there's a theme to your thread titles. lol
Looney Tunes is at #273, but it'll be a slow march to 300. Only six issues a year.
Unless something drastically changed, the Fables comeback is only specifically for a 12 issue run, #151-162.
Pretty sharp drop off in the number of qualifying titles that debuted through 1960 versus after 1960.
Don't be silly. Everybody knows you're supposed to use a pen.
