I was looking through this book recently and I noticed something that was different about it compared to other comic books of its time. There are almost no ads in the book. In the entire book there were only two ads. One was a half page ad for coins and the other was on the back cover selling 3 complete fishing outfits, which you can see above. If this was published by Marvel, DC or Archie every third page would have been an ad for some one or at least an in house ad. No wonder Dell stopped publishing comic books and started making computers. No one was wanting to advertise in their books, including themselves.
