===Publication Notes=== This issue was filler material for Ka-Zar, following the cancellation of the Doctor Doom serial. The storyline for issue #8 picks up again with issue #10. Only the 1st 4 pages of "Tom-Toms of Danger!", and the last 2 pages of "The Green Opal!" were printed. * In the letters section of Astonishing Tales Vol 1 11, Anthony Kowalik pointed this out. The Bullpen briefly explained that they had intended to use the 2 stories as filler in separate issues, and got them mixed up at the last second.
