Disclose Notes: Art credits updated to recognize that the Toby original was signed by Mel Keefer.

Pages: 4
Disclose Notes: Art credits updated to indicate that in both Toby printings of the story the splash panel is signed by Mel Keefer; the Charlton production staff appears to have eradicated this signature. Two changes were made to this story to appease Comics Code Authority censors: (1) the stretcher that Quigley uses on both pages one and four to knock back the North Koreans is eliminated, leaving him looking like he's doing this all with his bare hands; (2) the beautiful female war correspondent on page two has suffered a significant breast reduction.
