General comic range checking notes

 

Large changes through it's life.  Back pages sometimes coloured and sometimes black and white.  If you see a black and white one just double check the back page hasn't been removed.

 

These got interesting with the TV21 merge on 02 October 1971 as they then they all got (except the second TV21 issue that had it on the cover instead) double centre colour pages of Star Trek strips.  The Star Trek stripes stopped at the end of 1973, and all 1974 TV21 issues don't have them.

Price guide notes

 

Large changes through it's life.  Back pages sometimes coloured and sometimes black and white.  If you see a black and white one just double check the back page hasn't been removed.

 

These got interesting with the TV21 merge as they then they all got (as far as we have found) double centre colour pages of Star Trek strips.  We've come across issues where these have been removed, so worth double checking.

 

When Star Trek disappeared at the start of 1974, then back to non-colour centre pages.
