Offers various back issues of the title for sale from the publisher; issues #1-9 are all sold out. All other issues up until #21, as well as Gay Comics Special #1 was still available to order at the time this issue was published. The offer was not updated to include the previous issue, #22 and with the exception of removing #6, which presumably had sold out by this point, is nearly verbatim the same ad as included in #22.

The real-life reason for the name change is because DC's original Green Lantern, Alan Scott, adopted the monicker Sentinel around the time this story was published.
