Indexer Notes

Single-row Oswald strips ran under (or over) a number of the one-page features in this issue. There were no doubt several other single-row fillers that are unknown (these have been confirmed in issue #2, in which Oswald moved up to a half-page feature). Alter Ego #88 reprints several pages which include an Oswald strip, but which other pages included one and how many there were is currently unknown. Oswald appears on the bottom of Sandra, Ivanhoe, Barry O'Neil, Wing Brady and the Magic Crystal of History.

Oswald, originally a Disney creation and visually the immediate predecessor of Mickey Mouse, was at this point owned by Universal Pictures. According to Bob Rozakis at http://www.comicsbulletin.com/bobro/103767090390785.htm it was probably the presence of this licensed feature that discouraged DC from reprinting this issue as part of their Millennium Edition reprint series, despite its historic significance.

As there never was an Oswald newspaper strip, these are not reprints. They also feature the black furred version of Oswald, not the then current white-furred version.
