All of those titles say they're on sale "about" the ___ of every month.
"About?" How unprofessional. They grew roses in the Golden Age.

Incredible Hulk
Alpha Flight
X-Men (circa 1980 to 1983, it changed to have "Uncanny" in there somewhere).

It seems DC was fond of the number 6 in the 60s. To wit:
My Greatest Adventure
Tales of the Unexpected
Mystery in Space
Strange Adventures
House of Mystery
House of Secrets
Girl's Love Stories
Girl's Romance
Heart Throbs
Secret Hearts
Falling in Love
Young Love
Our Army at War
Our Fighting Forces
G.I. Combat
All American Men of war
Star Spangled war Stories
Blackhawk (that one may be a strech, but never let fact get in the way of a good theory)
Bob Hope
Jerry Lewis
Dobie Gillis
Fox and Crow
Sugar and Spike
Binky/Buzzy/Rudolph (depends on the specific year)
And at one time their street address number was 666.

"About?" How unprofessional. They grew roses in the Golden Age. They came out on certain days of the week, which fluctuated based on how long the months were.
