There's something else going on here. The inside and outside covers are new, but the interior scans...



Pages 1-2 of "Anchors Aweigh" in Issue 1 are different scans from those in Issue 14. Compare the right-hand margins of Page 1. But from Page 3 on, the scans are identical, both in dimension and file size, in both issues.



The file for Issue 1 was created on Aug 22 2006, and for Issue 14 on Jan 5 2007. The names of the copied files were renamed appropriately, so the dates are appropriate too.



My guess is that someone set out to scan Issue 1, got a couple of pages in when he (or she) realized that it was essentially identical to the already-scanned Issue 14, and decided to borrow those pages. Whether it was because the scans in Issue 14 looked better than the ones he was getting from his copy of Issue 1, or just to save time and effort, we'll probably never know.



Eventually both were uploaded to DCM by Prime User on Apr 30, 2011. Where they were in between, I don't know but I'd guess on the small BBSes that were around back then. Regardless, apparently we really don't have a legitimate c2c scan of Issue 1 yet.



And then there's the matter of Page 33 of Issue 14 actually being the inside front cover of Blazing Six Guns -- complete with indicia. Tsk.
