Notes

A few recent issues of this title had used the "A.G.P" version of the logo on the cover. That was unusual as the "Horwitz" version was used at this time. This issue appears to have had the "Horwitz" version posted over the top of a previous version, resulting in the lines of the star being slightly duplicated.
