Disclose Notes: Listed in The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide under the umbrella title MOVIE COMICS, but listed here under its indicia title.

More than one printing exists; besides the October 1963 printing (which has no stated printing number), there is a stated "Fifth Printing" (in the indicia) dated "687" (i.e., July 1968) in lower left panel of first page with cover identical to the October 1963 printing. If Four Color #92 and Four Color #545 are considered the first and second printings, the October 1963 may be the third printing, which means there is a stated fourth printing (existence needs to be verified). The "Sixth Printing" is the 1971 unnumbered issue with the Gold Key emblem. The seventh (and final) printing (not labeled as such in the indicia) is the 1982 unnumbered issue with the Whitman emblem.
