Statement history:
Statements of Ownership did not include sales figures until 1960, so no figures exist for the previous incarnations of the series. Subscribers followed over into Captain Atom, so the form printed in Captain Atom #80 is actually referring to sales of Strange Suspense before the name change. There is likely no 1967 Statement.
