Disclose Notes: Cover code: 10038-104 First issue of this series where the configuration of advertisement pages and “Gold Key Comics Club” pages (that is “non-story pages”) is redistributed from that which had been in effect since the Gold Key Comics titles issued in January, 1967. (In the case of the “Uncle Scrooge” title, that would be issue #68.) Previously, such non-story pages were limited to the four pages of the centerfold, and the final two interior pages (interior pages 31-32) for a total of SIX pages carved-out of each issue. Beginning with this issue, the number of non-story pages would be increased to SEVEN scattered throughout the issue, and would begin on interior page four. It would continue to increase throughout the 1970s.
