Disclose Notes: Story continues in the following issue.

Drug references in the story meant that it could not be approved by the Comics Code.

Backgrounds likely inked by Tony Mortellaro, as he was the background inker on ASM #98 (a billboard seen on the splash page of #98 reads "BACK BY MOR").

John Romita credited as "artist emeritus"
