Hello everyone!


Does anyone know the contents of  each of  these volumes, please?
http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=list&title=93783675021&snumber=1

I know they are collections of  Gladstone's Comics Albums
(http://coa.inducks.org/coa/c1/magazine.php/0/us/GCA), but I have only found
the contents of  the first three hardcover volumes (by checking the ads in
Gladstone back issues)-- and not naturally, Mile High Comics only has 4-8.

Volume 1:   Albums 1-5      ("Mines of  King Solomon", "Terror of  the
River", "Wolf  Barker", "Back to the Klondike", "Bullett Valley)
Volume 2:   Albums 6-10    ("Land Beneath the Ground", Master Storues,
"Hoppy the Kangaroo", "Bambi", "In Ancient Persia")
Volume 3:   Albums 11-15  ("Menehune", Daisy, "Golden Helmet", "Money Well",
Gladstone)

However, according to the INDUCKS, there have only been 28 Comics Albums in
all, which means that some volumes only collected together 4 volumes at most
instead of  5.

Even though I already have the stories in comics or albums (but not those
Comics Albums), I would love to have the hardcover volumes featuring Albums
25 ("Shacktown"), 26 ("The Seven Ghosts"), 28 (Don Rosa), possibly even 23
("Trick or Treat")-- nice sets of  some of  my favorite stories and 22
("Sheriff of  Nugget Gulch").
Are they in volumes 5-6, 6-7 , 6-8 , 7-8 ?

The first 20 Comics Albums are 46 pages long; that's 4 times 230-page
Volumes.
21-25 are roughly 46 pages each and amount to 230 pages as well (Volume 5
?).
That's 5 Volumes of  exactly 230 pages each.
26-28 are both 78 pages long, totalling 234 pages in one Volume-- Volume 6,
I suppose.

What about Volumes 7 & 8, then ?
Have there been more Comics Albums than the 28 listed in the INDUCKS? (I
doubt it)
Did Volumes 7-8 consist of  albums from another series? the Gladstone Giant
Albums ( http://coa.inducks.org/coa/c1/magazine.php/0/us/GGI ), for
instance? (published 1989 as well)
