I was also surprised to see the flutuating page counts on Fawcett's titles from the late 1940's till the end in early 1954 - some months 52 some months 36.

Post by: John C on June 13, 2009, 07:34:44 PM: The GCD (at comics.org) is probably the closest that I know about. It's not an easy-to-skim series of tables, but perhaps with time they'll consider it.

Post by: Yoc on June 14, 2009, 03:48:54 AM: I believe there were plans for an update but Howard Keltner died before they were finished.
