Color: Color Dimensions: Standard Golden Age U.S. Paper Stock: Newsprint Interior; Glossy Cover Binding: Saddle-stitched Publishing Format: Was Ongoing Series
Notes: Interesting issue: Gene Fawcette takes over as Art Director and the "authors" on half the strips change: Parachute Patrol now by "Casey McKay" instead of "Pat Powers," etc. And many new artists show up. Appears as if Fiction House is bringing production in house.
