Hi everybody, wonder if someone can answer a question that's been bugging me for a while?
I've noticed a number of times over the years but noticed it again when reading Essential Captain Marvel this week - the page numbering in the late 60s/early 70s tends to skip page 12, pretty much every issue.
The first time I noticed it I thought maybe they'd cut a page out in the reprint but it seems far-fetched that they'd cut the same page from each issue.
Anyone know what this is all about?

Re: Page 12
Given the time period, this may be related to the fact that Marvel ran half-page ads in that time period... Meaning that in reprints, "page 12" would actually be the top half of "page 13".
I've just picked a random comic from 1971 (DD 72, reprinted in ESSENTIAL DD vol. 3), and I do see the phenomenon : the top half of "page 13" is actually "page 12".
