I loved this issue--Swan-Klein made a great team.
I remember that summer (1967) well; my family and I were vacationing at the Jersey Shore for a few weeks but for me the best part was there a little store on the boardwalk that carried comics! My parents bought me roughly one comic a week; I got this WF issue...a Lois Lane 80-page giant...Lois Lane #78...Adventure #360...and a Metamorpho issue that featured the Elemental Girl.
