MONSIEUR
The first
issue of this title was dated February, 1957 and although it claimed to be on a bimonthly publication schedule such was not the case. In fact due to numerous changes in the publication frequency, as well as the actual publisher; and without mentioning actual mistakes in the numbering sequence, it is difficult to track the actual history of this title. All issues thru 2/63 were squarebound with glued spines, from 2/65 on a regular stapled spine was used. Most issues feature anonymous photos/pages/pictorials including many familiar faces. This title also contained quite a bit of color for its' time. Early issues have 6 pages of color photos including a 2 page foldout inside the FC. For some reason these pages are not numbered or included in the page count.
