Adventure 503 – Adventure Comics ends
With issue 503 (Sept 83), Adventure Comics comes to an end. As a reprint digest, there was little to note about its passing. The front and back covers of the issue did include virtually every character that had a series during the long duration of the comic, though of course many of the obscure serials from its early days were not represented.
Adventure Comics would return in a few variations over the years, all of which I hope to cover in this blog. There was a one-shot issue, part of the Justice Society Returns mini-series, an 80-Page Giant issue, and a one-shot special before the series got fully revived in the millenium. This second run would begin its numbering with 1, but eventually it would jump to make its numbering include these 503 issues from the first run.
And so ends my first “page” on this blog. Tomorrow I will begin with stories from New Fun Comics, which became More Fun Comics, the first book DC released, and the one I really ought to have begun this blog with.
