No two copies of Double Comics are the same -- not only did the issues for each year have several different covers, you never knew which remaindered comics would be re-bound on the inside, or even which publisher they'd be from! Any kids who bought this mag' hoping to read all about the cover hero called the Tornado Tim, instead found several other remaindered comic hero's instead! (See Double-Up & Weekender)
