Notes:
This issue of Comic Reprints is an exact reprint of Comic Magazines’ Police Comics #1 (August, 1941).
The only differences are:
- the entire issue, except for the color cover, is in black and white
- the inside back cover is an ad for several Nostalgia, Inc. series & publications
- the back cover is a "Remember When" ad
Even the indicia are a reprint of the original. There is no mention of Nostalgia, Inc. as the publisher of this reprint in the issue. However, it definitely is an issue from the Comic Reprints series; it is advertised as such in the in-house ads in issues [8] – [11] and in the “NOTES FROM A COMIC BOOK FREAK” editorial in “The Best of…Captain Marvel”.
***There is no cover price on this comic except for the original 10 cents. The price was given as:
$3.00 or 3 for $8.00 or 6 for $15.00 or 9 for $24.00 in the in-house ads in [8] – [11] and in the editorial in “The Best of… Captain Marvel”.
Don Maris made this comment in an email in 2004: "The Police has a funny kind of S mark on my copy that came out on the cover of the reprint. I bought Police 1 from Bruce Hamilton for $150.00 in 1969."
