#264

First issue of this title to be primarily or fully made up of new stories, after a long series of issues presenting mostly reprint material with only an average of six pages of new content per issue. In the case of this issue, all of the Tom and Jerry comic stories herein are new, with only the cover, a “Barney Bear with Fuzzy and Wuzzy” four-page “guest feature”, and the issue’s required text story as reprints. For the Tom and Jerry title, reprints predominated from issue #223 (Cover Date: April 1965) until this issue - #264 (Cover Date: June 1972). The artist on all of the new Tom and Jerry comic stories is Massimo Fecchi. The Fecchi credits are supplied by Alberto Becattini (2019).
