Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #130

The modern classic DC Bullet logo returns with this issue.

All advertising in this issue is for DC or Warner produced or related product. No non-house ads, text pages, or activity pages appear. Of those ads, all four are for DC Graphic Novels for Kids.

No editor credited in indicia. Editors are credited for the individual stories, but not for the issue overall. Printed by Transcontinental Printing Interweb Montreal, a division of Transcontinental Printing, Inc., Boucherville, QC, Canada 9/20/2024 (per indicia).

The issue provides the usual mix of ten pages of new material followed by ten pages of reprint material, however a noticeable change in the indicia is the omission of the source of the reprint material. This information was handy to readers in that it indicates that only HALF of the Scooby-Doo material found therein is new and original. It is also useful to GCD indexers to more easily identify and log the reprints, without a detailed scanning of prior indexes or using Advanced Query to find the source.

In recent years, the identification of reprint source material as published in the indicia has sometimes been inaccurate (such as in this issue... https://www.comics.org/issue/2587424/), so it is possible that DC editorial has simply ceased to publish such information.

Two issues ago (#128) the indicia contained the reprint information, while the issue before that (#127) was the first to omit it. Last issue (#129) was the second issue to omit it, making this issue (#130) the *second consecutive* issue to omit the reprint sourcing - and three out of the last four to do so.

If the next issue (#131) also omits the reprint information, the change shall be regarded as permanent.
