Issue Notes

Date listed is copyright date; there is no publication date.

Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. identified the Uncle Otto strips and speculated that the original book may have been supplied by S. M. Iger who had connections with overseas producers and distributors of comic material.

This appears to be one of the many books with interiors from released bootleg paper.
