Issue Notes

This comic is part of a record/comic package (GST-10) offered by Golden Records. However, there is no indication on the comic itself that it is part of this Golden Story Teller record package. The comic is on white paper much like the miramar paper used by DC on its 1990's Superman and Batman family books. There is no indicia, and no number, only a copyright note of 1966 to National Periodical Publications, Inc. The entire package sold for 3.79 USD and included an LP record of the stories in this comic, a membership card, a pin, and a secret code, all packed in a box.
