Notes | The original story was printed in a digest-size comic on 12 small pages. This is the same story but several panels have been slightly redrawn to fit into eight pages, with most of the new pages being drawn in a 9-panel grid. (The original story typically had 6 panels per page.) The first page is directly reproduced from Pocket Comics #1. The last page also includes a direct reproduction of the first three panels from the Black Cat story in Pocket Comics #2. Art credits from GCD index to the original printing. |
