Indexer Notes
The title has been blacked out on the splash page and a new, smaller title overlaid. Possibly evidence of some early code tampering? Other weird stuff is a face disappearing behind a very black shirt, odds bit of white in word balloons, a blacked-out panel and even a panel that looks as if it could have been hastily redrawn. And lots of edited bits in the last few balloons. Strangely, it doesn't seem as if the story itself has been changed a lot.

Indexer Notes
Again, lots of tampering. Huge chunks of white in balloons and twice a panel has been removed and replaced with a black and white version of an earlier panel slightly reworked.

Indexer Notes
Art identification by Ger Apeldoorn. Again, more meddling. Huge chunk of text missing or replaced, whole blocks of them removed and stuff blacked out. And again the story doesn't seem to have been changed.

Indexer Notes
Again, maybe the most affected of the book. The first two pages are fine, but when the girl meets the scoundrel, panels are dropped and replaced by black and white copies of the previous panel without text (a weird silent moment effect), the tier depicting their turmoil courtship has had all text removed (with the outlines of the balloons still visible in white on the colored background and in one panel the girl is leaning backward clearly not being kissed by a big man-shaped blob.)
