Interesting. In the first 11 issues (under publisher Brentwood), Shock Gibson's real name is given as Charles. That continued to be mentioned in issues 12 & 13 (now published by Harvey), but by issue #15, Shock's real name is now given as Robert, and for the first time, he's mentioned as being "heir to the Gibson millions". Also under publisher Harvey, Shock Gibson's powers change from being a "human dynamo" (similar to the later T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agent character Dynamo) to being a little more like Nedor/Standard's Pyroman.

I love the new costume of Pat Parker, War Nurse. Apparently, the success of scantily clad heroines (Black cat, Phantom Lady, Sheena, etc) influenced the editors at Harvey.
