This issue includes 10 pages of paid advertisements (pages 2, 9, 15, 19, 25, 27, 33-36 of comic including inside front cover, inside back cover and back cover) ; pages of comic not numbered. All new stories in this issue are narrated in the first person unless otherwise specified.

Distribution date from Joseph Marek's Marvel Comics Group history website. It should be noted that an August distribution date means that the comic cover date is four months later, which is an unusually long lead time; one copy seen has "10/3" as a newsstand date marked on the cover, which fits more with the usual three month lead time.
