Inside front cover is an intro by Stephanie Gladden, giving major props to all her fellow artists for
their encouragement, support and love and explains that the letters in this first issue were in response
to Hopster's Tracks stories that appeared in Action Girl Comics #1 & #2. Fan mail begins
on inside front cover and continues on inside back cover. Inside back cover included an offer for a
Hopster's Tracks T-Shirt which alas I missed...

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.
