Issue Notes

A reprint of Thunderbolt (Charlton, 1966 series) #57, with new ads and one story page deleted. Like most of the Modern Comics reprints, the original color schemes from the original sources seemed to have stayed intact. Available in bagged 3-packs, sold exclusively to department stores. Although it does have a $0.35 cent cover price, it does not have a publishing date, just a 1978 copyright. The numbering on the cover and indicia remains the same as its source material.
