Talk:Picture Stories from the Bible New Testament Vol 1

Which is what?
I'm confused about what is what here. We have the following pages:


 * Picture Stories from the Bible New Testament Vol 1 1
 * Picture Stories from the Bible Old Testament Vol 1 3

What I can find on the series name:
 * 1942: A 10 issue series "Picture Stories from the Bible" published by M.C. Gaines on his own title, by Montgomery Mulford and Don Cameron. Not EC, and thus not DC.
 * 1942-3: A 4 times a year "Picture Stories from the Bible" (#1)/"Picture Stories from the Bible Old Testament" (#2-4) published by Gaines as part of EC Comics, also by Montgomery Mulford and Don Cameron.
 * 1943: a reprint of the first two issues of the previous series. GCD lists them as part of the previous series.
 * 1943: #3 of that reprint series is the first New Testament book. It then publishes a new #1, Picture Stories from the Bible New Testament #1, which is a reprint of #3. Published by EC, by Edward L. Wertheim and Don Cameron.
 * 1944: "Picture Stories from the Bible New Testament", the two previous NT issues repackaged as #1 and #2.
 * Several different collected editions.

So if I understand this correctly:
 * Picture Stories from the Bible Old Testament Vol 1: has 4 issues
 * Picture Stories from the Bible Old Testament Vol 2: has 2 issues
 * Picture Stories from the Bible New Testament Vol 1: has 2 issues, #3 and #1. In that order.
 * Picture Stories from the Bible New Testament Vol 2: has 2 issues


 * Picture Stories from the Bible New Testament Vol 1 1 is actually Picture Stories from the Bible New Testament Vol 2 1, a reprint of Picture Stories from the Bible New Testament Vol 1 3

This is a mess. -- Tupka 217 12:32, January 4, 2020 (UTC)
