A Jack Davis / Harvey Kurtzman page from Mad #1, 1952, on the cover to note the passing of Jack Davis a few years earlier.

For part 57 of "Mystery Of The Human Thunderbolt", the long-running bibliography of Robert Kanigher, Robin Snyder writes about hiring RK in the early 1980s to write for the long-running series Turok from Western, with the script for the first three pages of what was going to be Turok #135.  

On the backcover is a 1955 war comic splash from RK and Irv Novick.

Also, for some reason, a reprint of Ditko's 2000 page "Tsk! Tsk! AP2 - The Unearned", first seen in v11#2.
