Other issues present are number 5 from January 1978; number 8 from May 1978 and number 9 from July 1978, both featuring guest appearances by White Tiger and Copperhead. Issue number 9 features cover art by John Byrne and Terry Austin. Issue number 10 from August 1978 features a mining-themed cover.
