Indexer Notes

Script credit: Gardner Fox's personal copy of this issue, which was donated to the University of Oregon, had had the Doctor Fate and Lance Arkin pages removed, apparently deliberately (as those were the only pages missing and the book had been re-stapled); because Fox wrote the Doctor Fate story, it can be inferred that he had written this one, too, and had excised the book's pages that he had worked on for his personal collection. The same two features had been removed from two other issues of this title from his collection at the university, giving further evidence that these were removed deliberately.
