Peter Wheat News issues ran in arcs of three issues per story.
We've collected each arc here and given them their own covers.
Walt Kelly provided most of the stock artwork of Peter Wheat and drew the first three years or so of the main giveaway titles, Adventures of Peter Wheat and Peter Wheat News.
Later issues were written by Del Connell and drawn by Al Hubbard.
