How To Identify Your Issues.
To check whether you have the issues we’re seeking, look at the Volume and Issue Numbers. Every issue of The Onion has a volume number, an issue number, and a date. This information is all listed on the front page, but in different spots depending on the issue itself. Special issues may list the volume & issue numbers as “22-01” instead of “Volume 22 Issue 1”. See the examples below:
