| Several scans on eBay appear to confirm that the inside front cover was indeed repeated from issue #8. Oddly, GCDB does not mention this. |
|
| Oddly enough, the indicia on #8 is also wrong. It repeats the indicia for #7. Someone in the production department was a month behind. They got it straightened out by issue #10. |

| Notes | Interesting to note that GCD had "Liebeck" as the artist here. "Liebeck" being Henry's misreading of a Gabriele signature and existing nowhere else in comic book literature, this clearly indicates that the previous credits were taken from the HS index without attribution. |
