| Notes | This comic (at least this copy) consists of the contents from He-Man #1, Hawk #3, Football Thrills #1 or 2 (I'm pretty sure though not positive), Crusader from Mars #2. The back cover and ibc are missing. The contents including ads are identical. It looks like 4 remaindered or left over comics inserted into new covers so copies may differ.
