Kid Colt Outlaw #7: Recycling Kid Colt Outlaw #6 - almost...

Page Publications' Kid Colt Outlaw #7 is a reprint of Kid Colt Outlaw #6. Almost...

The covers are identical apart from the shading of the colours:

However, they differ due to the page count - Kid Colt Outlaw #6 is 68 pages, and Kid Colt Outlaw #7 is 60 pages. 

Kid Colt Outlaw #7 omits the two full page covers of the US Kid Colt Outlaw #'s 165-166, and also omits the 5 pages of the untitled story from Kid Colt Outlaw #166. That's 7 pages missing from the edition which has 8 pages fewer than its predecessor. How can that be? 

Well, as I noted previously, there was scope for Kid Colt Outlaw #6 to include the missing first page of the untitled story from Kid Colt Outlaw #166 given the rear cover was left blank - and sure enough, the rear cover of Kid Colt Outlaw #7 has been put into service:

This is a confusing series. As I mentioned before, #5 is unnumbered; there are two #6 issues in this series; and, there is a query over the status of Kid Colt Outlaw #8 - does it exist? TBA.
