| Thank you, dsdaboss, for the excellent download of such a fine, and rare, book! |
|
| Red Man is not in this issue, although he appears on the cover. |
|
| Interesting collection of features with no superheroes at all (or even science-fiction stuff). Almost entirely stories set in the present day with more or less "realistic" themes. The "Sand Hog" story contains a lot of detail about the job of tunnel drilling. |
