Ads

Other Comic Books

This issue has an ad for 68 pages issues with "The Phantom" and "Mandrake the Magician".

The Mandrake issue has an ad from Broadway Approvals for a start package for collecting stamps and the Micromodel Kits, lot W7 - also used for the Mandrake issue 6.

  Jubilee Jamboree

The W7 lot is identical to the "Tarzan Adventures" lot Y6 used for the July 1959 issues.

Ellisdons

The "Novelty bargains from Ellisdons" ad is difficult to date, and the layout of the catalog itself was used for several years in the fifties. The advertisement mentions "Our new store".

  Catalog

An identical advertisement has also been used in other comic books, like Miller's "Young Eagle" #55 and "Wyatt Earp" #43.

What is interesting is that the "Young Eagle" issue has an ad for the 1959 annuals (released December 1958) and the "Wyatt Earp" the 1957 annuals (released December 1956).
