Notes / Commentary:	This series was followed a few years later by the New York Comic Library (1893 edition) which reprinted a selection of its titles while also adding some new stories. LeBlanc only examined three issues: nos. 17, 30 and 49. He determined other dates by going forward and backward on a calendar. This results in some discrepancies in the late numbers.
