Note: the jacket flaps and the catalog on the last page indicate the actual or planned publication of two further DP Film Books -- #2 was to contain "episode 25" (the "Terminator" episode) and was to be released on 1 April 1987 [Animate Collection #7] and #3 [A.C. #9] was also to be published in April; I have yet to turn up any trace of their existence...
