All Operator #5 novels were published under the Popular house pseudonym of
"Curtis Steele".

With issue #26 a series of stories involving the invasion of the Purple Empire 
began and continuing for 13 issues.  A similar series involving an invasion by
Japan (lead by the Yellow Vulture) was begun later and never concluded as the
magazine stopped publication.

The Dimedia editions are large format facimile reprints.

Freeway promised to reprint #4, but it never appeared to my knowledge. 

Completed: Mar 5, 1992
