Misc. Shorts

Here's where the "also rans" end up. This page will most likely remain a long work-in-progress as there are so many titles that are not accounted for, as well as a variety of series that we currently are unsure of how many titles per series were actually produced. So with that in mind, here is a list of remaining titles that are still awaiting their proper series placement that we consider as "Also Rans"...


PLEASE NOTE: Available titles will be in ITALICS and UNDERLINED

If a title is not in ITALICS and UNDERLINED....I do not have it in my collection.
