Does Flash 123 share a common back cover with another DC comic? 0

[gadzukes]

I have a Flash 123 that's missing a back cover and I thought I'd search for another DC comic from the same month that has a common back cover.

I found a couple that have the same outside image, but the inside image is slightly different.

Anyone happen to know if F123 has a back cover match?

I can check some of the contemporaneous Flash issues for you later tonight and let you know.

It's the Revolutionary Soldiers (back) and the Zodiac Ring offer (inside).

I've found a few with the exact same Soldiers back, but the Zodiac Ring offer seems to have a different shading on the Flash 123.

I did not get to check last night...but I haven't forgot about you  this should be a fun quest! Checking anything I have from DC from 1961. You say you've seen others but the shading is off on the ring? We can compare--I can share a picture of my 123's back cover here in a bit. (mine is not slabbed).

That's my original 123 inside back cover (above). I could not find a Flash from the few I checked before and after 123 that had the same combo. There was an amazing reprint done about 3 years ago from DC that had all the original ads and it looks like this:

Same shading. What have you found? What is the difference? You would think the ads would all run with the same art but maybe they changed things up once in a while?

A version of this ad also ran in Archie's Joke Book in 1961 but it was in full color on the back:

There has to be a DC match out there from 1961!?  GCD search pulls up these titles:

House of Mystery 114 & Blackhawk 164 have the exact same outer back cover and the same inner back cover except for the "halftone" grey on the left side of the page.

I DID find a matching back cover though......... Action comics 280 has the EXACT same back. cover inside and out.
