| Name | Bullwinkle 209 | Published |
| Publication | Price: 0.15 USD | Pages: 36 |
| Notes | Ad and non-ad variants exist for this issue. The final interior page is edited and rewritten to accommodate a vertical half-page of advertising. Creator credits from Keith Scott in his book "The Moose That Roared." Karl Wilcox noted, February 2008, that only the scripts are by Al Kilgore, not the art, and that the Keith Scott book does not actually make the claim that the artwork is. Harris confirmed as editor per his biblio in Robin Snyder's The Comics!, Vol 29, No.5, May 2018. On sale date is Library of Congress copyright record publication date. Bullwinkle previously appeared in Rocky & His Friends (Four Color #1128) (first appearance), Rocky & His Friends (Four Color #1152), Bullwinkle and Rocky (Four Color #1270), and Bullwinkle Mother Moose Nursery Pomes (Dell #01-530-207, May-July 1962). After this issue, he appeared in a new series (Western, 1962 series). Based on the 1959-1964 television show that had two different titles in its original run ("Rocky and His Friends" and "The Bullwinkle Show") and several more titles in syndicated reruns, but is known now as "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends". |

| Notes | Cover is drawn by Al Kilgore, while the interior stories are not. Art comparisons made with the 2022-released books "Rocky & Bullwinkle Complete Newspaper Comic Strip Collection" Volumes 1 and 2, in which strips written and drawn by Kilgore are collected, will give readers a better identification of Kilgore's writing style, and especially his drawing style. This issue's front cover art reflects the more "cleaner" style of Al Kilgore, while the interior art is noticeably "sketchier" than Kilgore's art in the books directly attributed to him, leaving the distinct impression that all but the front cover art is the product of a different artist. The fact that Kilgore's daily strip was produced for 1962-1963 may also have limited his participation in the creation of comic books produced for the same period. |

Natasha comments on Boris' scheme to have Bullwinkle meet his demise in the bullring: NATASHA: "Boris! This may be too bloody for the Comics Code!" Upon learning that Bullwinkle is coincidently headed for the same Mexican city where Boris and Natasha are being sent for their secret mission: BORIS: "It's just the stupid coincidence that bothers me!" NATASHA: "Let's face it, Darling, without those coincidences we wouldn't have a story!" The spies watch as Bullwinkle is about to be gored by a fierce bull: BORIS: "Natasha! This is Zero Hour!

| First Line | How do I look, Rock? |
| Notes | In order to call an abrupt and immediate subway strike, Boris poses as "Mackerel J. Quale, union boss". This is a parody reference to Michael J. Quill, a founder of the Transport Workers Union of America, who called a disastrous twelve-day New York City transit strike in 1966. Oddly, Kilgore's script had Boris preceding Quill's actions in a story published in 1962. Ad and non-ad variants exist for this issue. For the non-ad variant, the final interior page is a conventional four-tiered story page. For the ad variant, an ad for Red Ball Jets shoes runs vertically down the left side of the page. The story panels are edited down to four vertical panels on the right side of the page and are rewritten to cover the dialogue of the deleted panels. |
