Robert Kanigher takes the focus this issue with the massive (62 numbered paragraphs) essay "It Was Easy", covering his career in comics. Almost every paragraph could be the launching point for a chapter in the book that RK (presumably) never got around to writing.
"26. If Editor Schwartz suggests or states that he co-edited any of RK's titles - he is a God damn liar. You can quote me on that."
There really needs to be a collection of Kanigher's writings, maybe packaged with a reprint of the long Comics Journal interview he did in the early 1980s.
Also presented are the first paragraph of a proposed story, "The Lady and the Unicorn", a comparison of RK and Schwartz's memories of DANGER TRAIL and a list of some prototype Rock/Easy stories as part 62 of the ongoing RK bibliography.
The bibliography of the prolific Carl Wessler continues with Part 48, listing work from 1957 for Timely, Harvey, Prize and others.

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.
