Here is the first, previous issue to the #512 and your #2 of Dell, same series.

Not sure what this tells us.

I'm still confused. The two I posted are within a year of each other, the one you found is within 8 months of the #2, not too bad so far. But the one posted by @southerncross is many years before these. If Dell wanted to confuse comic book collectors, they've succeeded.

But the book you found is at a great price. Shipping and grading costs are about what they are asking for the book.

Dell often spun named titles out of Four Color Comics. The Four Color #424 (if it really is the first with Flash Gordon) would be the #1, then the #2, then I guess they decided against it.

The Peanuts series from 1958 is like this with the first three issues being Four Color Comics, and issues #4-13 being Peanuts.

If I could, I would. I swear. DrWatson private msg quote post Address this user
The Dell Jumgle Jim series is the same way.

The first two issues are non-concurrent Dell Four Color books and then it gets its own series.

Flash Gordon #3 would probably be Four Color Comics #512 (nov '53).

Dell is so confusing. It seems like they reached into a hat to see what the next number would be.
