In the late fifties IW reprint comics were sold three to a bag for 25ยข. As I understand it, publisher Israel Waldman would get the printing plates from the owners, like a publisher that had gone defunct, or from Eastern Color Press; they had printing plates from companies that went bust and couldn't pay their printing bill. The first issues of IW comics usually were #9, but don't ask me why. Another mystery of the comics.<br />Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-54888405529365600182018-06-21T09:10:28.410-07:002018-06-21T09:10:28.410-07:00You mention that there were only 4 issues of The A...You mention that there were only 4 issues of The Avenger. IW Enterprises must've thought they could keep him alive for a while after that. I don't know the history or how many issues were produced after those initial 4, but you can download The Avenger #9 over at DCM. Fans of this superhero should be encouraged to keep looking. If anyone can find further adventures of The Avenger, I'm sure it's you Pappy!KrowTrayllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16548584793111413803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-45167142879297372672013-05-12T11:56:26.141-07:002013-05-12T11:56:26.141-07:00Hester Prynne's a super hero!
