Notes
- As seen on the first story pages, Story Vol 1 1 (Inhumans) is Story#326-Z. Story Vol 1 2 is Story #429-Z.
- This issue debuts a new letters page, Amazing Mails. Letters are published from Sheldon Wirbe, Jeff Young, Wilson Fong, Paul Levitz, and Arthur Chertowski.
- 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.
