Disclose Notes: On-sale date from Comics Reader #128. Although the indicia date is Spring, the back-cover ad (Spalding baseball gloves), the Hostess Cup Cakes ad on the inside front ("Superman Saves the Earth") and all the interior ads (apart from the "Justice For All Includes Children #4") are identical with the printing set-up for the June cover-date DCs, which indicates that this issue should be included among that month's comic books.
