    Cover by L. B. Cole. Stories and art by Jack Kirby, Joe Simon, Mickey Spillane, Larry Antonette and Basil Wolverton. L. B. Cole's Star Publications takes over the Blue Bolt series, and as the superhero craze wanes, Blue Bolt becomes a backup feature to Dick Cole in his own title.

A Spacehawk adventure by Basil Wolverton, as Spacehawk faces Droon and The Queen of Neptune. The presence of a text story by future hardboiled detective author Mickey Spillane makes this a rare issue indeed, featuring early work by Spillane, Wolverton, AND Simon and Kirby.
