  • Features continuing villain, the mad scientist Herr Doktor Krueger.
  • No ads from the original pulp are reprinted.
  • “Note to the Readers” is a one-page article dealing with the creation of the G-8 pulp (from the editor?).
  • All G-8 reprints in this format by Adventure House are reprinted in their original order of publication.
  • Unnumbered pages are advertisements and blank pages.
  • Volume 8, Number 1.
  • All illustrations, including that of the non-genre story, 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 front cover of the facsimile has been restored and slightly altered from the original.
  • ”G-8 Speaks” is the letter column for the original pulp magazine. I always started off with a long essay by G-8 (Robert J. Hogan) and was usually followed by letters from the readers.
  • The original G-8 and His Battle Aces 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.
