Thinking about it, it is quite appropriate that my copy of 80.5 chose yesterday to show up on my doorstep really...

When was it the US started releasing comics ahead of cover date? We started in the UK at TFUK#110. but the sept84 issue 1 came out May 84 - remember the comic was bi monthly back then in the US. Was there a Previews out at the time? The comic should have been first listed in the March 84 issue if so.

The cover date generally represents when the comic or magazine is to be taken off the shelf, not sure when that practice started. Previews didn't start until sometime in the 90s I believe.
