Have comics always done it this way?

As far as I know, yes. At least, for DC. Having started as National Periodical Publications, I expect that they started out using the typical publishing method for periodicals (which is the pull-date thing I was describing). For a time in the late 70s or early 80s (Somewhere in there), DC had a period of three months, instead of two, but since we haven't got exact release dates for most of those, and I don't know the exact dates that they started and stopped doing it, I haven't written it into the code yet to compensate.
