Disclose Notes: This cover depicts Carlos as he learns Toni Morelli has forced his sister Lauretta out of the show and decides on revenge, from a panel on page 12. Confusingly, a story caption refers to the character as Tina at this point, while the plot makes it clear that it is Lauretta.

Disclose Notes: This comic was promoted by Atlas as "depicted by top ranking continental film stars". There isn't clear evidence in the story, but it could be translated Italian fumetti.
