Inside front cover recreated from color version of the ad found in Wow Comics #14, fiche copy included for completion. No matching paper copy of the IBC ad could be found, but a very close copy from Exciting Comics #27 has been included as a bonus for readability.

The individual pages are included after the rest of the book for those who would rather read it that way. Featuring Captain Marvel, Spy Smasher, Golden Arrow, Lance O'Casey, and Ibis the Invincible!
