On the cover this time is THE MODNIKS #2, the belated 1970 follow-up to the debut issue of the Gold Key series back in 1967. A page from #1 is on the backcover (artist on both unknown), and creator Gary Poole writes in with some words on his current work and past career, and provides a three page memo/outline about the series detailing the characters and concepts. 

At first I assumed this was a Monkees riff (Dell got the comics license to that show/band), but the Poole memo dates from May 1966, several months before the Monkees show/album release. Maybe it was just something in the air, post-Beatlemania. DC had their own take on the concept with the shortlived Maniaks around the same time (and the longer lasting SWING WITH SCOOTER, although the music elements didn't last long), contemporary with the Archie gang forming the band The Archies and others.

Also this issue, part 2 of a bibliography of the prolific Bill Harris, continued from the previous issue.

Also letters from Joe Frank, Darren Ford, Gary Kato and Andrezzzz xx, plus RS reviews some recent acquisitions in his library.

Call out the instigators, because there's something in the air...
