They always do that with Magazines. Gives them a longer shelf life.

"Based on historical data from the Registrar of Copyrights, DC celebrates March 30th instead of May because it was common practice in 1939 for publications to go on sale prior to their indicated cover date. So although Batman appeared in the May 1939 cover-dated issue of Detective Comics 27, that issue actually hit newsstands on March 30, 1939".
