: ''These notes are shared publicly so that others may make helpful contributions and corrections, which will make the creation of future StC articles a much smoother process. Refer to priority list and/or fill in the blanks where possible.
 
 
 
{{WIP}}
 
===Current Research Priorities===
 
* What was the first issue to have 32 pages? (Issues were 36 pages long until some point in 1997)
 
* Who provided the cover artwork for early issues? (This information isn't stated in the Control Zone until #016 onwards)
 
* Which issues featured <character>? (Chart every appearance made by a named minor character, specifically saying what issue and story they were in)
 
* '''What were the reprinted stories included in <issue>?''' (This is impossible to determine in later issues (after the Control Zone is scrapped) if you only have access to StC Archive's scans, so someone who has invested in physical copies will have to find this out)
