Reprint Notes:  
Miscellaneous
Pages: 3.5
Disclose Notes: New story. "Guest-feature" stories in Gold Key Comics are almost always four pages in length, while this one is 3.5. Half a page appears to have been excised from this story to make room for the Statement of Ownership that occupies the lower half of page four. This is evident by the abrupt scene-change between panels 6 and 7 to end page three, and a similarly abrupt change to begin page four.
