Oh?  Not mentioned on the label, and the cover doesn't seem related, so it must be a backup story?

Pretty sure I read that in an Overstreet. I’ve always thought it strange it isn’t on the label. 

Very jealous of these JIM #57s.

No way I'm ever going to go after the whole Mystic run, but there's also no way I was going to pass up that cover!

And it’s an Ant-Man prototype.

JIM #56 La Prensa Pub. Plus a splash page ... just for extra fun!!!   

 

Maybe its just me, but I'd vote for the splash being superior to the cover (as sometimes happens in PHM).

I'm not sure what the rules are, so if we were going to keep going past #100 I can remove the MT for it's proper spot. Otherwise just ignore the 1.

WOW, that's a smoker!!! Circle gets the square!!!!! Circle 8 and high grade, very well played, @mysterio if that IS your real name! 

Thanks! I was thrilled to get the opportunity to buy it, and though I didn't have the money at the time I sure found it quickly.

This is my brother's copy.

Mystic #54 La Prensa Pub. A rough copy but not easy to find and the Bill Everett cover art is worth grabbing in any condition! 

I had overlooked this one when I pulled scans this morning, thanks for the reminder!

Hoping for some creator guests soon, @Kevin Boyd...

Bit of a catchup from yesterday and the book for today.

This show has been great, definitely one we look forward to every year.

I never saw number 51 before , is it hard to find?

It’s definitely not common, and expensive when you do find it. Great book though.

Hi Mike, thank you very much for being all over this and providing that extra info via PM.  I'm going to reply here, publicly, in the hopes that my answer will be useful to some other people as well.

Your technical folks pointed out that they were able to log in as me and show the status of my submissions ... and then they questioned whether I was running an out-of-date browser.  I'm running the latest version of Chrome, so that theory is easy to rule out.  Recalling that I was able to see my submissions in "incognito mode," my next thought was that either some browser plugin (e.g. an ad blocker) was getting in the way, or maybe I just needed to clear my cache.

So I decided to simply bring up the screen again (which showed basically what I posted above) and then hit Ctrl+F5 to clear my cache and refresh the page. Thankfully, that worked!

So I think this issue is resolved for me, and I hope you can pass on my solution to your team so they know what to advise anyone else who sees this problem. 

Thanks again!

Sometimes the ads that now run at the bottom of that page have been a bit off-topic for comic collecting. Wouldn’t be surprised if they could trigger an ad block. 

This is another book that has always looked odd to me in JIM. 

I forgot to post this on it's day, but I like the cover so much you'll just have to put up with it.

I've always liked this cover. Great example of the value to be had in these secondary titles that most tend to ignore.

Another weird thing about this book is that "Three Who Vanished" was used again in Strange Tales #5, just a few months later:

Does anyone know if they just recycled the title, or if they reprinted an entire story?

Sounds like one could be about them vanishing, the other from the perspective of said vanishers. Either way someone was maybe a bit lazy that month, at least when it came to coming up with a title.
