  • Cover: G-8 and His Battle Aces, February 1936 (1936) • by Frederick Blakeslee
  • Notes:
    • Reprints in facsimile the lead novel and the non-genre air-war short story "The Dumb Demon" from the February 1936 issue of the pulp magazine. Both are written by Robert J. Hogan, the novel is listed as “by G-8 as told to Robert J. Hogan”.
    • Features continuing villain, the mad scientist Herr Doktor Krueger.
    • No ads from the original pulp are reprinted.
    • “Note to the Readers” is a one-page article dealing with the creation of the G-8 pulp (from the editor?).
    • All G-8 reprints in this format by Adventure House are reprinted in their original order of publication.
    • Unnumbered pages are advertisements and blank pages.
    • Volume 8, Number 1.
    • All illustrations, including that of the non-genre story, are by John Fleming Gould.
    • Contains many spot illustrations and character portraits that are either filler and drift from one issue to another, or are cropped from the larger full-page illustrations.
    • The front cover of the facsimile has been restored and slightly altered from the original.
    • ”G-8 Speaks” is the letter column for the original pulp magazine. I always started off with a long essay by G-8 (Robert J. Hogan) and was usually followed by letters from the readers.
    • The original G-8 and His Battle Aces magazine was published by Popular Publications, now Argosy Communications.
    • The original editor of the pulp is uncredited. This edited version of the pulp is presumably edited by John Gunnison, the publisher of Adventure House.
    • The original pulp cost $0.15, this facsimile costs $10.95 in Canada.
    • G-8's wiki page is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-8_(character)#List_of_G-8_and_His_Battle_Aces_titles.
