No issue number on cover, and no publication date or copyright notice for the comic oddity. This issue was published with the Women Outlaws cover, but the content (as confirmed in Overstreet) is Cody of the Pony Express #7. Other anomalies in this issue: 1) Back to back ad pages on page 33-34 are identical; 2) The first Cody story starts on page 2 of the story, but the comic is nonetheless a standard and complete 36-pages. This comic looks to have been put together in a rush, but we'll likely never know why Cody ended up inside a Women Outlaws cover! Cover price $0.10.
