Includes 10 pages of paid advertisements (pages 2, 9, 15, 19, 25, 27, 33-36 of the comic, including the inside front cover, inside back cover and back cover); the pages are not numbered. All new stories are narrated in the first person unless otherwise specified. On-sale date from 1960 Periodicals, Copyright Office, Library of Congress.
An August distribution date means the comic cover date is four months later, which is an unusually long lead time; one copy seen has "10/3" as a newsstand date marked on the cover, which fits more with the usual three-month lead time.
