---
Interestingly the 'Planet Payson' story from here was renamed and reused in
Lucky 7 Comics as 'Punch Powers'! http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/index.php?dlid=5310
You can see that story on page 18 of the scan.

If anyone owns this comic PLEASE consider scanning it for the site or letting a trusted scanner do the work for you.

Comment:	Even considering the limitations of the fiche scan (which sometimes alter the colors a great deal), the recoloring of the story in Lucky7 are quite a bit better. It would be interesting to know who colored each story, and how the decision was made to change the colors on "Planet Payson's"/"Punch Powers'" uniform.
