Story Notes
Acrobat last appears in issue #106 (March 1963). This story involving a Captain America imposter was a try-out to test the idea of reviving him. The real Captain America would return only 4 months later in The Avengers (Marvel, 1963 series) #4 (March 1964). Winner of the 1963 "Favorite Short Story" Alley Award. "Captain America" wears red trunks in this story instead of the usual blue.

Story Notes
Baron Mordo last appears in issue #111 (August 1963) and, not counting next issue's flashback, Mordo next appears in issue #117 (February 1964). Victoria Bentley next appears in issue #160 (September 1967). Inker is obviously George Roussos, though not credited on artwork. Stan Lee notes he was waiting for reader feedback after Strange's first appearances; this suggests Roussos may have inked this episode because of a very last-minute decision to begin running the series regularly.
The Bridge
Storyline
A government agent retrieves a classified microfilm stolen to be given to enemy agents and is helped by a magic bridge.
