I wonder how Harvey figured he could produce 100-pagers to sell for the same price as a regular 64-page comic. The pages may be smaller but they seem to have about the same amount of art on them. If Harvey paid lower page rates to keep the hundred-pagers' cost down, I'd think the artists would have kicked. If it were Victor Fox he wouldn't give a damn, but from what I've read Harvey was a more sensible businessman. Maybe increased production costs was one of the reasons the Pocket Comics line failed. Or maybe kids just preferred full-size comics, even with a lower page count.
