Issue Notes

Indicia gives title as "Crime & Punishment," not "Crime and Punishment" as in most other issues; unclear how many issues this indicia appeared in (not in #3-19 or 56 at least). Also unusual in lacking volume number in indicia.

Indexer Notes

Letters from H.G., Frank C. Elledge, Roxie Coleman, Joyce Ferrell, Gerhard Lindemann, Gail A. Martin, Madeline Fritzig, and Marvin Wasserman; apparently there were not all that many readers willing to write in because seven of these letters were also printed (but not all verbatim) in #30.
