This issue was not published by Bongo Comics.
Published by Action-Packed Comics.


This ashcan issue has a hardboard cover. Within it describes the upcoming premier issue of Hopster's Tracks that was to appear from Zongo Comics. Either they considered it sufficiently tame to issue it under the Bongo brand (and hence opening it to wider distribution channels) or they toned it down. Either way the second issue had "For ages 10 to adult" on the cover.

This preview issue had a wrap-around cover as shown below.
