The first issue is dated July 15, 1942. It was a single sheet, about the
size of an unfolded newspaper. I guess you folded it like you would a road
map. The second issue was in a standard format: 6 x 9 and stapled. The pages
flipped up from the bottom. It didn't go to a standard booklet form until
January 1943. All through its life, the magazine had missing issues, double
issues in summertime, and fouled-up volume numbers. Until 1948, all new
volumes started in March, e.g. the March 1945 issue was Vol. 4 No. 1. This
got all straightened out in 1948 when they skipped issues 11 & 12 for 1947
just so they could get synched up with Vol. 1 in January. Except - there was
no January 1948 issue! Just to keep on track, the Feb. 1948 issue was Vol.
7, No. 2.



I have four of the 6 six issues from 1942, am missing 6 issues in 1943, but
have everything else up until the last issue in 1957, which I have never
seen.



Incidentally, Gene Deitch, the creator of the famous "Cat" cartoons, which
started with the January 1946 issue, is still working as an animator in
Poland. He will be 85 this fall. I chat with him by E-mail often, mostly
about my Jazz Man studies. He's a delightful gentleman.
