Disclose Notes: Contains the exact interior content of Uncle Scrooge (Western, 1963 Series) #72 (December 1967), including non-character related editorial features and ads. Cover is modified to present the "Top Comics" logo, rather than the "Gold Key" brand and the typical "Uncle Scrooge" series title logos. Beyond that, the cover illustration is also the same.

No cover price is displayed on the issue, leaving some flexibility in the cover price charged. Merchants have been known to place "19¢" (or other price) stickers on the covers of such books, which normally sold for 12¢.
