Indexer Notes

In the original issue, pages 11-12 served as an introduction to the rest of the series. Here, those two pages are moved to the front of the story, therefore pages 11-12 from the original issue are pages 1-2 here, and pages 1-10 from the original issue are pages 3-12 here. The words "This is his story..." have been added to the bottom of page 2, which were not on page 12 of the original story.
