Notes

  • Reprints in facsimile the lead novel (by G-8 as told to Robert J. Hogan) and the non-genre air-war short story “The Blinking Buzzard” (p 93) from the August 1936 issue of the G-8 pulp magazine. All fiction and features are written by Hogan.
  • Features the fifteenth appearance of the continuing G-8 villain, the mad scientist Herr Doktor Krueger.
  • All G-8 reprints in this series from Adventure House are reprinted in order of their original publication.
  • ”G-8 Speaks” is a letter section, and it usually opens with a short introductory essay by G-8 (Robert J. Hogan) and then goes on to print some G-8 fan letters.
  • Unnumbered pages are Adventure House advertisements and blank pages.
  • Volume 9, Number 3.
  • The front cover of the facsimile has been restored from the original.
  • All illustrations, including those of the non-genre stories, are by John Fleming Gould.
  • Contains many spot illustrations and character portraits that are either filler and drift from one issue to another, or are cropped from the larger full-page illustrations.
  • The original G-8 and His Battle Aces pulp magazine was published by Popular Publications, now Argosy Communications.
  • The original editor of the pulp is uncredited. This edited version of the pulp is presumably edited by John Gunnison, the publisher of Adventure House.
  • The original pulp cost $0.10, this facsimile costs $10.95 in Canada.
