Ah gotcha. I googled the previews and they didn’t tell me anything important. Thanks!
Not to be the Cliff Clavin of the forum, but #16 is 1st Embo correct? 
I’m not sure who Bento is or is he another 1st in there as well?
Oh sorry. My lack of real care for Embo is showing. Hahaha. He’s a cool character, but I’ve just never paid him much mind. Sorry, yes I meant Embo.

That’s my copy right wooky? 
It was, but wouldn’t you know it, I lost it in my basement as soon as I got it home! Nuts. I’ll look out for another one for ya.
In all honesty I found the #16 cover B in the out-of-the-way all ages back issue box and just asked the owner if he had more in the back. He came back with one more cover A for #7 and Cover A for #16. So, there you go. I have 3 copies of #7 now. According to his search, I cleaned him out. If he restocks, I’ll grab one and let you know.

My turn to play Clavin…
“To keep one’s eyes peeled dates back to the 1820s in Britain, when Sir Robert Peel established the first organised police force. The officers were known as 'peelers, or ‘bobbies’.”

1820s in Britain
My turn to play Clavin…
" “Britain” comes from Latin: Britannia~Brittania , via Old French Bretaigne and Middle English Breteyne , possibly influenced by Old English Bryten(lond) , probably also from Latin Brittania , ultimately an adaptation of the Common Brittonic name for the island, *Pritanī .[1][2]
An early written reference to the British Isles may derive from the works of the Greek explorer Pytheas of Massalia; later Greek writers such as Diodorus of Sicily and Strabo who quote Pytheas’ use of variants such as Πρεττανική ( Prettanikē ), “The Britannic [land, island]”, and nēsoi brettaniai , “Britannic islands”, with ** Pretani* being a Celtic word that might mean “the painted ones” or “the tattooed folk”, referring to body decoration (see below).[3]
The modern Welsh name for the island is (Ynys) Prydain . This may demonstrate that the original Common Brittonic form had initial P- not B- (which would give ** Brydain ) and -t- not -tt- (else ** Prythain ). This may be explained as containing a stem * prit- (Welsh pryd , Old Irish cruith ; < Proto-Celtic ** kwrit-* ), meaning “shape, form”, combined with an adjectival suffix. This leaves us with * Pritanī"
In spite of delays. All cover price.

Haha. I knew somebody would bring that up. I was saving time saying they were all for cover. That copy was $5.00. So, approximately cover if adjusted for inflation and price hikes since 1992.
