Notes

Publication Notes

• Month of October on cover and December in indicia. The October cover-date is no doubt an artistically whimsical "gag" keeping with the book's deliberately "retro" overtones; "seamlessly" intersplicing with the original 1963 publication scheduling (i.e., issue #1 is cover-dated September, 1963; #2 November, 1963). December, 1999 is #1.5's actual publication date.
• Contains pinups by Paul Smith, Dick Ayers and Bruce Timm.
• Includes an Anti-Drug PSA with Spider-Man
• The Letters page includes is written in the style of the letters pages from the 1960's with letters "written" by Ty Templeton, Kurt Busiek and Burt Kusiek. With a special announcement section with comics that were published around the time of Avengers #1.
