	I AT 66-B was chosen by collaborators in our Norwegian office - it's
apparently a favorite of theirs. They had, it seems, first seen it a few
years ago in the Scarpa reprints from Comic Art, Inc.
	One reason it was chosen to appear in this particular publication
was that the Spring, Summer, and Autumn Reading sections of the Weekly have
to be 32 pages or less. There are a fairly limited number of "vintage" 1950s
and early-1960s Scarpa stories that (A) haven't already been in the
pocketbooks and (B) are that short.

	Best, David
