Four Sunday pages

Alex Raymond was previously credited with script and art, but Don Moore was co-creator and author from the very beginning of the strip, and Austin Briggs has now taken over the art chores.

The original newspaper page most often carried a title for the following week's strip.
04-01 = Frozen Fate
04-08 = Harem Refuge
04-15 = Gluma Takes a Hand
04-22 = Spy in the Harem
