Issue Notes

Though thought by some to be available only at the New York World's Fair, Karl Wilcox and Michael Frank report purchasing copies through newsstand distribution in 1964.

The book was "published" by JW Books, Inc., a Subsidiary of Warren Publishing (Creepy, Eerie), who was the Official Licensee by appointment of New York World's Fair 1964-1965 Corporation, for comic books. Published by arrangement with Western Printing and Lithographing Co [Gold Key], who held the Flintstones license. (Source: Warren Companion.)

Bill Harris self identified himself as the editor in an interview for Alter Ego 144.
Despite the fact that Bill Harris worked on this book in Western Publishing's New York office, Mark Evanier respectfully insists that the interior of this comic was produced by Western's Los Angeles office with art obviously by Phil DeLara, Harvey Eisenberg, Steve Steere, Pete Alvarado and others. He further notes that the letterer was Rome Siemon, who worked for the L.A. office and politely suggests Mr. Harris was confused.
