The Jack Kirby Collector, Issue 21 and the Jack Kirby Checklist, Gold Edition attribute this unused pencil page to issue 3. I speculated based on the plot that it belongs to page 27, this is unconfirmed.

God, is that ever nice!
God, is that ever nice! Normally I have nothing but good things to say about Royer's inking, but if all the pages in that issue were pencilled as beautifully as this one, I'd say Mike's inks didn't do them justice! Nothing against M.R.; maybe he was rushing a bit on that issue for some reason, or the printing quality was low, but man, do those pencils look sweet compared to the printed comic! (No offense meant, Royer fans. Mike is still the best!)
