Up front this time is part 4 of a biography of Artie Saaf, looking at the artist's career in the 1950s, from jungle comics shifting to the romance and then to advertising work. This biography was by the prolific Ron Goulart, who passed away in early 2022.
Part 33 of the bibliography of Robert Kanigher covers 1995 to 1999, which is mostly reprints in various DC books and a few unused inventory stories shown in the newsletter.
There's also the solution to a puzzle from Jim Ivey which appeared in the previous issue, some notes on the career of Terry Szenics (1919-1995) and several pages of letters in Under The Gun, including Mike DeLisa, Joe Frank, Stan Bycko, Bill Harris, Ben Herman, Gavin Callaghan, Jerry Deacon, Frederic Manzano, Michael Cohen, Athos Bousvaros and Barry Pearl.

A nicely obscure and typically well rendered piece by John Severin up top this time, sadly to mark his passing earlier that year.
Robin Snyder shares some personal memories and Don Mangus has a long piece on his career highlights, plus there's a little seen 1986 page from a Marvel SAVAGE TALES story by Severin and Robert Kanigher.
Also noted are the passings of Ray Bradbury, Tony Dezuniga, Norman Fruman, Maurice Sendak, Jim Unger and Robert L. Washington III.
DeZuniga gets the backcover, an unused TUROK cover from 1982.
Ron Goulart has part two of his biography of Artie Saaf, looking at his time with the Iger shop, Fiction House and Quality in the early 1940s.
Also letters from Stan Goldberg, Nick Caputo, Steve Ditko, Bill Harris and Batton Lash.
