Indexer Notes

The Invisible Girl gains the power to project invisible force fields. Note that this is about a year after Reed's defense of her membership in issue #11 which was a justification of her powers as they were.

The image of Sue on the opening splash page was based on a print by Vargas which appeared in Playboy (Playboy, 1953 series) v10#4 (April 1963).
