Issues 12-31 are indexed in New Adventure Comics. The series was relaunched decades after its conclusion, with Adventure Comics a series featuring the age-old technique of dual-numbering so that although it began it's own numbering of the series, it also displays the numbering on the cover as if the series were still ongoing from this series started back in '35.
