Pages: 1
Disclose Notes: The cover image of Charlton Bullseye #4 indicates a cover story on The Six Million Dollar Man. The actual #4 issue features E-Man on the cover and no story on The Six Million Dollar Man. The Dick Giordano artwork shown in this ad appears to be unique to this promotion as no other issue of Bullseye indexed features it on the cover. Located between p. 9 and 10 of "The Secret Web".
