- An insert with all copies stated that;
- “Every effort has been made to source the original photographs but regrettably, not all of the originals survive. In such cases, we have either used similar images or have re-scanned from the original magazine resulting in a slightly grainy image.
- Following the pattern of the original magazine, the headings in the story guide are those of the first episode in each story, up to The Gunfighters, after which individual episode names were abandoned.
- Please note that the information at the base of page 3 is largely out-of-date, as is the cover price of 30p!”
- There were cover variations for Australia and the USA editions.
