Tiger dating and numbering
Posted: 16 Feb 2019, 17:59
Dates available from 11september 1954 to 30th March 1985= 1595 ( these dates are all saturdays regardless what the comics had printed on them I.e every Monday or every Tuesday)
My question or point is-from 1595 you have to take off the non prints/strikes-I have always had it as 21 weeks leaving 1574!
Which is the actual physical number of paper copies there could have been !
On the numbering of the comics - if you continued from the last numbered 244 may 9 1959 to 30 March 1985 you will get a number of 1579- this is because the 1956 strike of March/April that year included the numbers79,80,81,82 and 83.ie they did not drop the numbers from the sequence but printed the comic 3rd March to 14 April /78-84 inclusive.
Now my real question is am I right???-I hope so!!!
If my number of 1574 is right- I have 1564-10 short
So I am asking all the experts here for their input
To confirm my findings I will tell you the tiger comics I am short of and hope you can tell me if they exist
8x comics from 1964-feb 8,22,29. mar 7. apr 4,11,18. and may 9
1x comic dated 28 dec1963
And the one that needs a helping hand with is 20 th June 1959 !!
The 1959 strike is I believe is 8 weeks-As I have 13th June and 22 and 29 August-the stories in the 29 aug follow on from the 22 aug, though the 22 is un-dated and the 13 th June stories do not follow into the 22 aug ?
So all owners of a complete collection of 1959 please help.
Anyone with a full years publishers copies will hold the answer to this question
And finally if anyone has any of my 8 -I would like to purchase if up for sale !!!
Thank you all for your patience in reading this epic.
