We are talking about USA, right? I am not sure if this
will apply there, but do they have have those comics
in some other public library? If so, you might be able
to get them temporally to your library as a some sort
of  "a long distance lend". Some other DCML reader who
has got the american issues could probably give the
needed information to specify which numbers of which
magazine you want etc. If all else fails, is there
(USA?) such a library which collects one copy of practically everything
for researchers to use?
As of how much this costs or even if it is possible,
I obviously don't have a clue. At least in Finland
"long distance lend" is rather cheap and finding a
library which has comics is easy.
