Tsk tsk. I haven't updated this topic is a while!
I just learned about this book -

Members here will recognize most if not maybe all of the heroes he mentions. It's on Amazon where you can see a preview.
One strange fact I've never heard before this book was a possible connection between Amazing-Man Comics #5 (Centaur) and Motion Picture Comics Funny Weekly (Funnies, Inc). There was one issue made and 3 more covers made for MPCFW but there's nothing about a connection on GCD for example. Anyone else hear about such a thing?

This qualifies as shameless-self-promotion, but also includes plugs for DCM. For http://www.planetarystories.com I've written some stories featuring public domain comic book heroes. These stories are in the Pulp Spirit part of the site. (As Erwin K. Roberts I have stories in most issues of Pulp Spirit. There's a western, a few private detective cases, two Dr. Watson shorts, and a hero from movie serials.)
Here is the first ever (AFAIK) prose adventure Chesler's The Black Dwarf. See the DCM plug at the end.

From Novelty/Curtis the Chameleon calls on the Target & the Targeteers for help. Again the DCM plug follows.

Having read some of Erwin's work I can recommend them, especially if you are curious to see more behind some of the characters he's listed.

He also does a blog called Gone and Forgotten which is hilarious.

I read that somewhere years ago. Makes about as much sense as anything to explain the odd numbering, but I don't remember where I read the claim.
Looking around I see that Toonopedia mentions it http://www.toonopedia.com/amazngmn.htm

Hmm. I wonder where Don got that info from?
