<<Or, in the case of the text stories  that ran in Harvey Comics, "something 
OLD" wrapped in same...  Harvey was  notorious for recycling the same text 
stories over and over again.  I'm not  sure how often Western Publishing did 
this, however.  My impression is that  when WP did a reprint of one or more 
stories from a particular past issue, they  often simply reprinted the text story 
that originally accompanied  them.>.

Marvel-Atlas-Timely Comics also recycled the same text story over and  over 
again - 
I suspect they are comics champs at that - i understand that  there is one 
story that was reprinted over ten times - once just two months  after the 
previous.  
However, since Harvey did text stories for  thirty more years, maybe they are 
tops - they certainly had the  time!

Western Publishing at least usually put the copyright date on the  reprint, 
so you knew it was a reprint.
