Issue Notes

Distributed to newsstands in June 1958. This issue includes 10 pages of paid advertisements.

Distribution date from Joseph Marek's Marvel Comics Group history website. Most of the stories in this issue bear the logo reading "A Mystery Tale to Hold You Breathless!" used by the cancelled Mystery Tales (Marvel, 1952 series), perhaps indicating that this was built on an unpublished pre-implosion issue.
