| As originally printed by Fox the indicia errantly showed #4 (but with the correct date for #5). In this edit the indicia in the zip file has been edited to show #5. However, the original errantly printed indicia/ifc can be seen over at DCM: https://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=30673 |

| Really bottom-of-the-barrel stuff. The two Rocket Kelly stories (especially the second one) and the Kit of the Canyon story are very poorly drawn. The rest of the issue is padded out with ancient newspaper humour comic strip reprints (which make the "original" content look even worse by comparison). |
