Fun with Ajax
« on: February 03, 2012, 11:31:48 PM »
The Swift Arrow info needs some tweaking. It currently says:

Ajax/Farrell Publications
1st series
No. 1 2-3/54 - No. 5 10-11/54

You need to add:
2nd sreies
Ajax/Farrell Publ. (Four Star Comic Corp.)
No. 1 4/57 - No. 3 9/57

Also, the listed title of the one 1957  issue is:  'Swift Arrow v01 003 (1957 reprint)'
but all the issues of both series seem to be reprints from the original issues of Lone Rider (as far as I've been able to check), so the word 'reprint' shouldn't be there. Unfortunately, both series are numbered 'volume 1'.
The one difference in the two runs is that the 1957's use the name 'The Rider' instead of 'The Lone Rider' (when he appears), like the 1957 run of The Rider which was all Lone Rider reprints.

Maybe the 2nd run should be listed separately, the same way The Rider' is listed separately from Lone Rider (or The Rider should be combined with Lone Rider, which is my preference).
And then there's Swift Arrow's Gunfighters #4 (Nov/57), which is actually issue 4 of Swift Arrow (1957).

That's all the confusion I can muster for now!

Thanks Len.  I've passed confusion lane and entered headache flats.

Ok, as they are both the same title separate folders only confuses things.  I've made note of the 1957 series and added years to the issues being shared.
