Notes

• Agent Axis was not actually a Marvel character, but a golden age character from the DC universe. It seems either Stan Lee or Jack Kirby confused this when writing/drawing this issue. Agent Axis will appear later as an halluncination in Captain America #162. Eventually, The Agent was retconned and created for the Marvel Universe by Roy Thomas. Agent Axis is properly introduced in Invaders Annual #1.

• This issue contains a letters page, Mails of Suspense. Letters are published from Sterling Evans, Haun Nelson, Timothy Kuhn, James Taylor, and Bill Todd.

• The Iron Man story is reprinted in Essential Iron Man #2 and Iron Man Annual #2

• The Captain America story is reprinted in Essential Captain America #1 and Marvel Double Feature #6.

Trivia

• The splash page of the Captain America story lists this credit: Irving Forbush sharpened the pencils.
