Notes

• As seen on page one, Story One is Story#305-Z.

• This issue contains an advertisement with cover reproductions of Thor King-Size Special #3 and Marvel's Greatest Comics #29.

• The Mayor of New York City at this time was John Lindsay and this character bears a likeness to Lindsay and as such should be treated as a topical reference given Marvel's sliding timescale.
