[edit] Issue numbers

Issue #38 of Dynamite from July 1977, featuring baseball player Mark Fidrych, initiated the use of a secondary numbering system and was labeled Volume 1, Number 1. That does not mean it was the first issue of Dynamite, since 37 issues preceded it. This secondary numbering system continued until March 1986 with Issue #134, which featured Michael J. Fox and was labeled Volume 9, Number 6. I have left this information out of the article because it's pretty dry, but I keep it here for clarification. (JosephASpadaro 07:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC))

I incorporated this information into the "Notes" that accompany the Table. (JosephASpadaro 23:46, 21 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Covers of each issue

I would like to add a section that indicates what was on the cover of each issue (example: Issue #1, March 1974, M*A*S*H, etc.). Do people think that this is a good idea or not? I have all the information at hand, but would probably need someone else's help to format it properly into a table. (64.252.65.246 04:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC) Joe S.)

I have begun to enter all of the information for the cover feature story of each issue. As there are 165 issues, this will take me some time and, as of now, it is only a work in progress. I will continually add and update this section until I have completed all 165 issues. Thanks for your patience! (64.252.67.48 17:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC) Joe S.)

As of now, I have updated the correct information and added the appropriate links for Issues Number 1 through 145. I will continue to update this page until all 165 issues are completed. Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 07:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC))

I have completed the information and links for all 165 covers. Thanks! (JosephASpadaro 05:35, 13 March 2007 (UTC))

I reformatted the information in the form of a Table. (JosephASpadaro 23:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Scholastic's K-to-12 plan: $2 a month until you graduate

As there don't appear to be independent pages for Dynamite's sibling publications Wow and Bananas (for younger and older readers, respectively), a section for each here might be appropriate. I haven't been able to determine whether these magazines began later or ended sooner than Dynamite, but in terms of pop-culture influence they are clearly subordinate. Asat 20:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

That's a great idea -- incorporating some information on Wow and Bananas into this article. Do you have any information? (JosephASpadaro 04:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC))
