Notes

• Cover art: pencils by Kirby (the Inhumans) and Severin (the Black Widow vignette), inks by Giacoia. (Source: the Olshevksy Index)

• Sequence 1 The Inhumans!

• Stone is credited as Chick Stone.
• Aireo is mistaknely called "Aeolus", Stallior is mistakenly called "Centarius" and Leonus is misspelled "Lionus". This is corrected in the following issue. However Inhumans #1 establishes that Centarius is the name of another centaur-like Inhuman, depicted with a beard. As Stallior is shown with a beard this issue, it is possible this is in fact the first appearance of Centarius.

• This issue features a one page ad with full cover reproductions of Thor #181, and Captain America #128. The Bullpen Bulletin page features an advertisement for Astonishing Tales #1.
