| Greetings & Salutations! Great cover, appears to be a colour photograph taken from the programme. The khaki uniforms look great, used to wear them myself in the 1950s United States Army as an under-age enlistee at Fort Hood, Texas. Watched his t.v. series as a youth and looked forward to it coming on, suspected there was a comic book based on the show, now in my seventies I am treated to a copy, wow! Herbert Booker of Florida |

| Notes | Boyd Meagher credits Weisbecker on most of the Captain Video stories and the credited artwork on Bob Swift Boy Sportsman #1 (Fawcett) is identical to this one. Square faces with heavy chin, straight smiling mouth and often pin point eyes almost like Al Micale. And everybody so alike they could be related. |
