    Features covered will be:
    Doctor Occult - Includes the death of Doctor Occult (get out your black arm bands) and a clash with the Lord of Life.
    Radio Squad - Featuring Sandy Keane the man who spanked a reckless driver now punches his own partner.
    Federal Men - Featuring the Junior Federal Men, some really bad advice for children, and the first adventure strip crossover.
    Slam Bradley - With guest artist Jim Bettersworth (better than what?) and a daring full page rescue.
