Title: Romantic Hearts (Story Comics) volume numbering
Post by: comics4steve on May 12, 2013, 02:16:53 PM

The Story Comics intro page for Romantic Hearts indicates we are using v1 for the 1951 series and v2 for the 1953 series. The current scans we have identified as v1 001 and v1 002 should actually be v2 001 and v2 002 since they are from the 1953 series (Master Comics imprint). The confusion probably arises from the fact that the indicia lists 'Vol. 1' for both series.

The 'Comics Still Needed For Scanning' thread should also be updated to reflect the correct issues.

I'm now going to check into this further and will make the changes
necessary to the series. Thanks for heads up on this.

I've now added the info necessary for the changes needed to the series.

Vol.1: Mar. 1951 to #10 Oct. 1952, Vol.2:  July 1953 to #12 July 1955
I thought I checked all of the series and had all the information corrected.
I would guess it's not.

Sorry for pointing this out.
But the confusion goes on.

Have a look at this GCD site:
http://www.comics.org/series/name/romantic%20hearts/sort/alpha/

There are 11 issues from Story and yet 12 more from Master.
Am currently indexing these. Also scanning. Some will go up from next month on.

Fun thing is: The last there noted Story issue (#11) shows in indicia not Story, but Master!
I suspect Story's vol1 #11 and Master's vol 2 #1 are not only identical (they are!) - but:
There are really only 10 from Story and the Master imprint started with a double issue #11/#1 printed in both versions!
They stem from the same month, too!

GCD says there are 11 Story and 12 Master.
I will present to you (in scan) these two issues!
Jugde for yourself?
Go insane for yourself?

I defiantly be confused, but required changes made to the CNS list.

OK, due to the overwhelming pressure from my peers I have to give in to them. Hee hee!

Thanks Guys, change is now done.

If Geo sorted it out I'm glad... my head spins reading this.

Thanks, Geo.
Now we're up to par with GCD.
Sorry for your headreeling times.

You'll see for yourself, very soon.
