| I stumbled across these PD issues on the site and it got me wondering--
I know you guys don't accept DC stuff, but I guess early stuff isn't really DC because it's National Allied (pre-Donenfeld). So if you have these NEW ADVENTURE issues--does that mean earlier stuff is acceptable?
I have scans of four issue of NEW COMICS that another collector passed on to me and I could pass them on to you guys, if that's acceptable. And if I can master uploading the files. |

| Did anyone ever answer this question? I'm writing the Major's bio and I have been attempting to get an answer to this question for over 20 years. Any clues would be greatly appreciated. |
|
| Have you sent email to the "contact" page and asked your question there? |
|
| Yes, I did but so far haven't heard. Will try again. I know it's a bit tricky because everyone is probably afraid of rocking the boat with DC/WB. It's disappointing that these issues are not readily available because comics history for most people begins with Action #1. Thanks for your answer! |
