Pure speculating on my part, but the deadline for morning papers usually isn't that instantaneous. They are often "put to bed" the evening before. Stop the presses actions would be for major events and/or major rewrites of information in articles already in the edition.

True. Though there are or used to be final editions. As far as the events of Junkman's battle with Jack and getting captured, a logical guess would be a time when few people are out, ie early in the AM. Though through his commentary during the early pages, it takes him hours to lug the loot by himself...

But this story has dates all over place too. Annotations site points out discrepancies of the newspaper date and Junkman's dialogue of the robbery happening five months to the day.

And the Rocket site Investigators Close to Full Recovery and Junkman Captured give dates of November 21 for the paper. That would fit closer to what you were suggesting as well as the Junkman's dialogue, but there's an extra day in between. You figure that would be the 20th, if the events took place late on the 18th/early in the morn on 19th...

Not to mention the articles text, has the first robbery happening in August, not June per the newspaper headline. I kinda go with the Annotations site and its author, that the Junkman is rounding up a little and matching with the dates on papers in the story.

I'm favoring the notion that speculating that it would be the same morning as the printed date on the Newspaper for this type of event is not very likely. Your other comments sent me to the Family Album where sure enough the Newspaper date has been changed to Friday Nov 21, 1977. Unfortunately, Comixology is not using the corrections there (nor did they for the wrong year in the Blue Knight story). So I am thinking it is most likely the capture happened in the early morning hours of Thursday Nov 20th.
