 * Alexander Knight

Story notes

 * This story clarified that Nikita Bandranaik had been replaced as World President by T.J. Younger. Although Bandranaik's impending resignation was foreshadowed in TV Century 21 as early as January 1966, Younger's ascension to the post was not acknowledged until the publication of World Mourns Dead Space Hero in April 1967. Confusing the matter further was the fact that Bandranaik's likeness was regularly employed as the face of the World President in place of a unique design for Younger until June 1968.
