NOTE: This is an altogether different Blue Beetle even though the character retains the super-hero and secret identity names of the original Golden Age version that first appeared in Mystery Men Comics #1 (Aug. 1939). Also, the Silver Age Blue Beetle has a different origin than his Golden Age version.
NOTE: Frank McLaughlin only inked the cover, Bill Fraccio may have penciled it but that can not be confirmed. c
