Disclose Notes: First issue of this series to contain primarily reprint interior story content, but with new covers. This condition would prevail for the remainder of the St. John run, ending with Heckle and Jeckle (St. John, 1951 Series) #24 (October 1955).

While sporting a new cover, this issue reprints the interior comics content of Heckle and Jeckle (St. John, 1951 Series) #3 (February 1952) - which was itself reprinted from Blue Ribbon Comics (St. John, 1949 Series) #3 (June 1949).
