Issue Notes
Due to a printer’s error, this comic book included some pages from #18 in place of the intended pages, which meant that the entire color content did not make much sense. Issue #18 contained a pull-out section with the corrected versions of the stories and instructions to replace all of the color pages with the revised edition. Pages affected by the error are 2-3, 6-7, 26-27, and 30-31.
