Issue Notes

The indicia issue number is 01530-207 and the cover code is 01-530-207.

The Series ID (the "530" in the cover code 01-530-207) indicates a series title beginning with the letter "M", which implies that Dell assigned this ID based on the name "Mother Moose" rather than "Bullwinkle".

Creator credits from Keith Scott in his book "The Moose That Roared." Karl Wilcox noted, February 2008, that only the scripts are by Al Kilgore, not the art, and that the Keith Scott book does not actually make the claim that the artwork is.

Harris confirmed as editor per his biblio in Robin Snyder's The Comics!, Vol 29, No.5, May 2018.
