Notes:
This is a reprint of Hit Comics #25. However, the extent to which the script might have been changed to reflect DC's desire to move Kid Eternity more firmly into Captain Marvel continuity is unknown. Until a side-by-side comparison can be made of this issue and Hit #25, this database will play it safe and list this as a "possible" appearance of both the Quality and the DC versions of the character.

If you own both these issues, please take a moment to perform this comparison and help us settle this conundrum for the rest of our users.
