Disclose Notes: This issue marks the major turning point in Jaime Hernandez's Locas stories. Previous issues focused on light sci-fi adventure stories with some slice of life vignettes. From here on out the sci-fi elements are discarded leaving the low key drama dominant and front and center.

Includes an eight page Lloyd Llewellyn preview section that is not included in the second printing.

Thirty cent price hike with this issue. 1st printing: August 1985. 2nd printing: October 1992
