Page Publications' The Avengers #6 was published c.April 1981:
The contents:
The Old Order Changeth!, originally published in The Avengers #16, May 1965
[Four Against The Minotaur!], originally published in The Avengers #17, June 1965
When The Commissar Commands!, originally published in The Avengers #18, July 1965
This printing of Four Against The Minotaur! is missing the splash page. Similarly to previous issues in this series, it appears the story which sacrifices the splash page for the page count is compensated with a reprint of the cover to the story, which mirrors the splash page to some extent.
The rest of the stories appear to be reprinted intact except for the omission of references to previous Marcel comics issues, which sometimes entails minor art extension, and the omission of the Next Issue text box at the end of When The Commissar Commands!
This issue is the first digest-sized edition in the series.

Hi Spiros - I just stumbled upon your blog this weekend and have spent hours reading through the different entries. It brought back many memories of the Yaffa/Murray reprints I used to read and collect back in the early 80s (as well as the Newtons I used to find at Trash and Treasure markets). Alas, I got rid of them many years ago, never imagining they would come to be regarded as 'collectable', but one thing I did hold onto were the digest-sized Yaffa reprints - I have 90 of them, almost all in excellent (VF-NM) condition. I was thinking of trying to sell them on eBay for $10-$20 each, or sell the lot for maybe $800. What do you think? - Robert
That's a fair price, Robert. Drop me a note at spirosxenos@bigpond.com - I might be interested in purchasing some.
