The trademark information reports that the term "Fun Pad" was first used 20 December 1974. For further information see the US Patent and Trademark Office.

Notes

This issue is a rebound edition composed of three coverless returns or excess stock. One issue has possibly been identified. The other two are listed in sequences 2-13 and 14-24. It is likely other copies of this comic have different contents. There is no publisher listed, but the back cover advertisement indicates the issue is from part of the Magazine Management group.
