Thank you for working it out, my friend. I was too lazy.
Now, if only someone could solve this one: if Gold Key had continued to publish Star Trek comics, completely uninterrupted, what issue number would we be heading for now? Answers on a postcard...

Re: Do Issue Numbers Matter?
Going back to the original question; no, I shouldn't think issue numbers matter to most readers, only to collectors. Even then, most of us collected many un-numbered comics from IPC by cover date.

On the one hand, they shouldn't matter. Quality is more important than quantity. A comic, in theory, could have 900+ issues behind...
