Whenever the new comics come out, I’m taken aback if they have the same issue number as the title had before.

This month, August of 2019, we have on sale . . .

Those swingin’ TEEN TITANS in their issue 33. Okay I know that originally had a May-June 1971 cover date and featured the lovely Lilith in “Less Than Human” (by Bob Haney, George Tuska and Nick Cardy), with this pulse-pounding Cardy cover.



Then comes SHAZAM! 9 but SHAZAM! 9 previously had a January 1974 cover date and featured Captain Marvel against Mr. Mind (by Denny O’Neil and C.C Beck); a Captain Marvel Jr. story (by Elliot Maggin and Dave Cockrum); and another Captain Marvel story (by Maggin and Beck) which was the one featured on the cover.



And also availabe is BOOKS OF MAGIC 11. What! Okay, now I know you’re just messing with me, because there was already a BOOKS OF MAGIC 11, dated March 1995, and it had a Charles Vess cover.
