the series was revived following the early 70s titles' & reprints' commercial success:
the publisher initially seems to have thought it a good idea to restart the series numbering:
later titles bear no series number on their front covers:
(2)#1 (#19): ''go for broke!'' (2/1975), q.v.
(2)#2 (#20): ''have a snort!'' (1975), q.v.
(2)#3 (#21): ''target for tonight'' (1975), q.v.
(2)#4 (#22): ''the maracaibo affair'' (1975), q.v.
(#23): ''voodoo kill'' (1975), q.v.
(#24): ''the lady killer'' (1975), q.v.
(#25): ''kill her with love'' (1975), q.v.
tower books was combined with belmont publications' belmont books to become the belmont tower imprint: none of these seem to have been excessively punctilious in minor details such as the accuracy of the printing histories given in the indicae of their books. |
