Apparently, DC’s 1972 Tarzan Presents Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Weird Worlds was originally going to be titled Tarzan Presents, a tidbit that turns up in these old August 1972 DC Comics production schedules.

    Hi Paul,

    thanks for sharing these things. For me as an archivist of everything DC Superhero Comic related, this is interesting.

    I was surprised not to find the job numbers listed on those pages. Were they not created for this reason, to track the covers and insides until the publishing ?

    Wish you all the best,

    Georg from Germany

    • As I recall, the editors kept track of their own job numbers (we used to call them “G-numbers”), which were used for internal tracking. I have copies of some of Julie Schwartz’s personal tracking sheets for the series of Superman albums/GNs he produced for German publisher Ehapa that I worked on and these all list the–in Julie’s case–“S-number.” When we were kids, Paul Levitz had compiled a complete list of the job numbers that I’m pretty sure he maintained after going on staff at DC in 1973.
