Notes
- Some time between Master Comics #4 and this issue, the Frontier Marshal feature has changed some things, and not changed others:
- The Marshal is now Buck Jones instead of Bill Crane, and the bad guys are now the Cantrell gang instead of the Trask gang.
- The town is still called Big Savage and the sidekick deputy is still called Mesquite Mike.
- First Master Comics issue for Jungle King, and for War Bird, both of which last appeared in Slam-Bang Comics #7.
- Last issue for Mark Swift and the Time Retarder, which ran from Slam-Bang Comics #1 through #7, then moved here to Master Comics for this last episode.
- Rodney Kent routinely packs a revolver.
- After this issue, Shipwreck Roberts moves to Wow Comics.
- In War Bird, Captain Sharp gets shot down for the sixth time.[1]
- Zoro fights and kills a rabid bulldog with his sword-cane.
- Zoro's cheetah, Cheeta, is able to track down the cult leader, bloodhound-style, after sniffing his captured dagger.
