Notes
- Published bi-monthly by National Comics Publications, Inc.
- Johnny Thunder's white horse, Black Lightnin', is officially deputized by Sheriff Tane.
- Minstrel Maverick gets head-konked unconscious, with a pistol butt.
- State that Vanished: Per Wikipedia: "Franklin was never admitted into the union. The extra-legal state existed for only about four and a half years, ostensibly as a republic, after which North Carolina reassumed full control of the area." This flatly contradicts the caption in this story's final panel.
