Notes: Scripts for the two stories in this issue, with art excerpts from the first story (referred to as "part three") and uncolored art excerpts from the second (referred to as "part two"). Note that the stories in the previous issue were referred to as parts one and two, so it's not clear whether this "part two" should have been "part four" or whether there is some other error.
