- This fourth issue has the final free transfers not sellotaped to the cover as per the previous three issues, but folded along the crease inside, making their use difficult.
- In some copies the final two pages of the The Return of the Daleks comic strip story were printed out of order, rather spoiling it with a premature ending. The error was addressed as such:
Oh, and congratulations on having one of the rare copies of issue 4. Though some villain must have sneaked into the printers and switched a couple of pages of the issue around, our reliable pals down there spotted the switch quickly and changed them back!
- Published every Thursday, this issue had a cover price of 12p (UK).
