Disclose Notes: The UK editors were keen to remove apparent slurs against Communist countries from these reprints. Accordingly, some text panels were rewritten. An example of this is on page 10, panel 5 where the phrase "Natasha is heading for an Iron Curtain slave nation" is replaced with "Natasha has been captured by foreign agents".
