En Garde 4 was published in May 1968 and contains 60 pages. 
The back cover is a publicity still from the show, with a quote by Gene Marine from "Ramparts Magazine": "It’s interesting to note that the best of the spy shows — despite all kinds of outright sexual gags and a lot of camp jokes — is the British series, “The Avengers”, in which the hero invariably has a genuine respect for his companion and in which the heroine, hippy and unbe­lievable as she is, is a grown-up and real woman all the same.” 
The art is by George Foster, Derek Carter, Richard Schultz, Mike Weber, Walt, Art Thomson (ATom), P. Cooper, and Kathy Bushman.
