Indexer Notes

Story continued from last issue (#74) and concludes next issue (#76). No letters page this issue due to bi-weekly schedule. Of other note: Rogers drew Hawk wrong, as if he was wearing his old combat fatigues as Colonel, and coloring issues came up for the Viper troopers, whose uniforms were colored backwards (red uniforms, instead of Blue).
