There are two reasons that happened a lot back then. Sometimes they'd change the title of a book and keep the numbering of the old title so they didn't have to pay.

Some companies, and I believe Centaur was one, would often start a series with #5 or #10 to fool readers into thinking that a new series was an old, established, successful title.The Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730805376957629641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-71628301853916593912016-04-01T13:14:59.683-04:002016-04-01T13:14:59.683-04:00I'm intrigued by the idea that Amazing-Man sta...I'm intrigued by the idea that Amazing-Man started at comic #5.
