These titles are listed as a group, as they were the only issues to feature on their cover the title of:
"DC 100 PAGE SUPER SPECTACULAR"
These books are listed with the publisher's month of publication (as mentioned earlier, the date does not always coincide with the actual date that the book arrived on the shelf). This should give a good visual representation of how the books were published. There's also an alternate list with the Cover Titles listed in place of what we have below, which has the title listed in the indicia.
These are all of the 50¢ 100-Pagers. PLEASE NOTE that only the first 19 issues (from "No. 4" through "DC-22") are fully wraparound covers with no advertisements. All subsequent issues have ads and are absent of any wraparound covers. Also the "Year" column is the year of solicitation, as is the month. The On-Sale dates are estimated based on the available data and evidence.
As you browse downward on the list, you will note that the "Issue #" column is left blank on those issues that did not fall within the run of an existing title. In the letters page of the last issue to feature the original numbering system, E. Nelson Bridwell indicates that the next planned DC 100 Page Super Spectactular would be SHAZAM! - however, when the next issues came out, they had advertisements and there were three titles in one month.
