Disclose Notes: The cover reprints three partial comic strips from inside (from top to bottom): Dan Dunn; Myra North, Special Nurse; and Boots and Her Buddies. Then it reprints two panels from the Capt. Frank Hawks-- Air Ace story.

The reprint of the Myra North, Special Nurse strip mis-colors a statue, creating the appearance of a nude woman. The strip is colored correctly inside.

Disclose Notes: This is the first time that the Dan Dunn daily version has ever been reprinted before. All pervious comic book appearance have only reprinted the Sunday version. This has happen in many comic strip reprints but that usually happen when the daily version and the Sunday version run two separate storylines but Dan Dunn has been running the same storyline since 1934.
