Notes

The copyright registration for the issue reports a publication date of January 6, 1981. However, this date most likely reflects when the direct-sale variant went on sale. The newsstand edition generally went on sale two to four weeks after the direct-sale variant, which was the edition sold through comics stores. Mark Gruenwald credit on letters page.
