Trivia[]
- Also contains letters and pictures from readers, plus a short message from Torquemada explaining that "Brother O'Neill, the artist who draws Nemesis, has been taking too long on his illuminated borders. Consequently the story of my great battle with the arch-deviant will not appear this week. Rest assured, Brother O'Neill has been suitably chastised."
- On the back cover there is part of a Space Trucking Dictionary which should help to make the story of Ace Garp and his buddies slightly more comprehensible. It covers the letters S, D and E. On the other side (inside back cover) are the letters F, G, H, P, Q and R.
