IIRC Double Double Comics didn't have reliable numbers and the same cover could contain different strips.

Thanks for replying.

I have seen one on ebay with a number 3 on the cover. The copy I have has no issue number on it. I assume it might be issue 1 and they only started numbering them with 2, but I am not sure.

The first one I saw was in 1968. It had a cover of Batman being zapped by an alien, and inside were two Batman comics, an issue of Strange Tales and an issue of Teen Titans, all minus glossy covers. Also, they'd been trimmed down a bit in size. I often saw these beasties from time to time over the next few years, and it was like getting a lucky bag in a way - you never knew what was going to be in them, apart from the title character, who would have at least two issues in the thing.

Picture link appears to be broken.

The Double-Double comics collated unsold DC & Marvel comics without their original covers, so the contents could vary. The same Double-Double cover wouldn't necessarily contain the same comics.

Hubble, bubble, double-double! This is one of those exasperating titles that defies precise classification as it seems to have existed in various forms within the same issue depending on what spare titles they had to splice together at the time and, as a result, the covers seem to have a strangely chameleon-like quality too although, if memory serves, I think it is possible that the number 1's were the unnumbered editions.
