Notes: This issue of Comic Reprints is an exact reprint of Vital Publications’ Plastic Man #nn (#2) ([August] 1944).

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 Comic Reprints ([1] – [10])

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 contains the in-house ad that was also in issues [8] – [10] and is mentioned with the other 10 issues 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”.
