    • This is a 98 page reprint, not including Adventure House ads, of the one-hundred and twelve page edition. This reprint includes the non-speculative air-war short stories "Death Flies Alone" (p 78) by uncredited, and "Grandpa Takes the Air" (p 89) as by Greaseball Joe. Both are by an uncredited Hogan.
    • All G-8 facsimile reprints in this series from Adventure House are reprinted in order of their original publication.
