Issue Notes
This issue has variants.
Mislabeled #497 on cover. From Bob Rozakis, DC production manager at the time: "The price box was picked up from the ADVENTURE COMICS DIGEST. As I recall, we told the printer to strip in the price from ADVENTURE and they took the entire box." (via e-mail, January 1, 2011.)
