Your powers of deduction never cease to impress me, Mr. Wheatley.

Impressive, indeed.

Elementary, my dear Rick. Or more to the point - I've had that comic book since elementary school. And I could even tell you exactly what it would look like if it got wet - unfortunately!

I wonder though, what that exact book is, as it isn't the original. Could anybody id the back cover? I couldn't figure out what it was advertising, except that it's another comic apparently and said something along the lines of "subscribe now and get additional issues" (Doing that from memory, would have to pull the image up again on my TV for exact wording).

Can't imagine they'd mock one up and then put an ad like that on the back cover, so what exactly is it. As far as I know that particular issue has never been reprinted.

It seems to me that the TV producers might have to mock up a back cover, just to avoid product placement issues. It may also be why the producers used a comic is decades old. Nobody would take a decades old comic into the bath with them. There may be comics readers (not collectors) who don't mind reading their comics in the bath. But only a comics collector would have an issue that is decades old.
