Indexer Notes
Possibly not all story is reprinted. Credits, characters, synopsis and job number taken from GCD index of original.
First Odham's reprint of a Marvel story. (Advert for the Hulk appeared in the previous issue.)
Only the first 2 chapters of the Toad Men story have been reprinted this issue.
Due to the different larger UK page sizes, pages & panels have been re-arranged so the original (6+5)=11 page story now fits into 6 pages. This has meant afew panels has been dropped & other alterations have occured.
