| Notes |
This issue does not have an indicia anywhere in the comic, as far as can be determined from microfiche and from the reprinted inside front cover in the Masterwork, which does not leave enough room beneath the contest text for an indicia. The Indicia publisher, frequency and volume are inferred to be the same as issues #1 and 3. |
