Issue Notes
This would be the last issue of March of Comics to feature Disney characters, though March of Comics would continue until 1982. Western Publishing / K.K. Publications held the Disney character license for all that time, but no Disney characters would appear in future issues of March of Comics.
With the exception of March of Comics #258 (The Sword in the Stone) earlier in the same year, no Disney characters had appeared in the March of Comics line of giveaway premiums since issue #74 Mickey Mouse (1951).
