This never-reprinted tale from Dell's Four Color #1301 (1962), illustrated by Jack Sparling, was the only comic story about the series ever produced.
Considering
the extreme verbosity of the script, I wonder if this was a script for a
TV episode that was simply too expensive to produce, so the producers
turned it over to the comic publishers and recommended it be adapted into graphic form.
It
references backstory about the ongoing characters (shark-related
incidents in their pasts) that licensed material like comics and
paperback novels couldn't create independently, lest they contradict
possible future stories on the show itself!
