Blazing Comics #5 0

[Comic Books Unlimited]

Hey there , is anyone familiar with Blazing Comics , #5 in particular that has inserts of other comics in them? I had a question from a friend that asked if the original cover of the inserted comic is in there as well? I'm not sure because its CGC certified and I will not break it open.

This may help from the Grand Comics Database.

In addition to the regular issue indexed here (go to link below), different remaindered comics can be found behind this cover. Known remaindered comics used are: Animated Comics #1 (EC, [1946] series), Batman #34 (DC, 1940 series), Cloak and Dagger #1 (Ziff-Davis, 1952 series), Haunt of Fear #18 (EC, 1950 series), Modern Love #3 (EC, 1949 series), Superboy #23 (DC, 1949 series), Weird Science #13(=#2) (EC, 1950 series), and the never-distributed Feature Stories Magazine (Fox, 1950 series) #4 (The Iroquois Trail).

No, the original cover is not included, just the remaindered contents; i.e., you have a Blazing Comics #5 cover with another comic's contents.

There's a cool copy of Blazing #5 on eBay with the interior to Detective Comics #168...not sure if it's worth anything near the asking price though:

For how many years was "Blazing 5" reissued with these contents. It's listed as a 1945 issue but exists with contents from 1951?!?

I just came into possession of a Blazing Comics #5 and in researching the issue, am seeing a phenomenon that I'm not used to, that of remaindered comics in a common cover.  Does anyone know anything about the "never-distributed Feature Stories Magazine (Fox, 1950 series) #4 (The Iroquois Trail)" ?  That is the one that I have.  I think it would be cooler to have a GA Batman or Detective Comics.  Anyone know what is meant by never distributed, and is there a variant remainder version that is more desirable/valuable?  It's s solid grade, and possibly worth slabbing if the value is there.  I just don't see a lot of precedent for this book.

I have a similar copy with a Four Color 256 interior.  I think the interior was added to an extra cover that was found.
