I had this topic on the old forum, but in case people were still interested, here it is again. Comics.org won't let me list digital comics so I'll put it on here instead.

Here is one I tabulated recently. The collections I choose to put up on here are in no particular order. Just whatever ones I've read/are interested in. Sorry for the formatting. This looked better on my word doc. If you want a synopsis of the stories, visit comics.org. If there was no synopsis on that site, I included it here.

Return of the Digital Exclusives thread!!

A Bird in the Hand (Archie) 6 pg. from Archie Comics Digest #239

Thanks a Lot! (Sabrina) 6 pg. from Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1997 series)
The Brown and Gold (Betty and Veronica) 6 pg. from ? 1940's story drawn by Bill Vigoda. The girls have a discussion at Pop Tate's about who Archie is taking to the Thanksgiving dance.

For some reason no credits were posted on the 1st pages of the stories in this collection. There was only a big list of "Featuring" names in the beginning.


DeCarlo Rules

As we were discussing the indexing of stories by theme in another thread, it occurs to me that they could never have foreseen the need to sort stories quite this specifically in the pre-digital era. While stories from the DE collections "Lifeguards on Duty" and "Just Keep Swimming" could easily have found their way into a "Summer Fun" reprint collection issue, they would never have considered putting out something like a reprint comic composed of all Thanksgiving stories. Some of those stories might easily be included in digest issues shipping in late October or early November, but the thought of filling an entire digest issue with them would not even be seriously considered. It's only the constant need to generate new DE thematic collections (to differentiate them from a standard digest assortment of stories) that leads to a need for indexing the plot content of the stories in the first place.
