Issue Notes

Cover Code: 90029-201.

Interior comic content is all reprint. This issue reprints all interior comics content from Daffy Duck (Western, 1962 Series) #130 (October 1980), one of a number of scarce Whitman bagged issues of later 1980. The cover of the scarce Whitman issue is not reprinted. This issue displays a new cover.

Ten pages of older reprint material are added to take the place of the advertising pages of Daffy Duck #130.

No interior ads in this issue. Ads are limited to inside and back covers. All 32 interior pages are comics or comics-related text material.
