Disclose Notes: John Nahmias of the Bernhard Design Studio New York helped work on the design and ads for the comic up through 1958, per John Nahmias (March 26, 2008). Around 1996 there was a limited number of bootleg copies of this issue made by a chain diner in California. Cover has no price and paper quality is better than original newsprint version. Issue was self produced by the diner.
