American Comics Update: Quirky Corner: Double Double Comics
*DC: In the Sixties, it was a common practise of the UK distributors Thorpe & Porter to return the covers of unsold copies for credit, then re-purpose the ‘destroyed’ coverless copies, four to an issue, under a new cover – usually an ineptly-recoloured stat of a US original. Thus the contents of any given issue are random, so we list the issues contained within each copy in our stock. As you can see from the two copies we have of Action Comics Double Double #4, contents will vary even within issues with the same covers and numbers. Often, other publishers such as Marvel & ACG are also represented.
