The eras

One year of history in every weekly issue, about fifty years in all.

Issue one covers 1933, issue two the next year, and so on, one issue a week. Every reader starts at issue one, whatever week they join, so nobody walks in halfway through a decade.

1933–1982
50 weekly issues, 1933 to 1982. Papers mail every Monday.
