| Notes | Some of the faces on page two, and of the slaver, look like Blum's work, but uncertain. He worked on Crown Comics. Heames is credited on inking this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and it looks a bit like his signed story in # 6, but uncertain, as the printing is not as clear here. |

| Content | Genre: Crime | Characters: Mickey Magic; Trixy (dog); Captain; Thief |
| Notes | The artwork here is identical to Feldstein's signed Mickey story in issue #7, and to note is the faces with thin inklines on the cheeks of Mickey, and on his hair. Also the saggy "wet" look of folds in clothing. |

| Content | Genre: Children |
| Comic Story | "For years scientists associated the scarab..." (7 pages) |

| Content | Genre: Adventure | Characters: Ace Williams (reporter); Foggy (girl assisstant) |
| Notes | Baker is credited on pencil on this feature by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and his faces with creepy eyes are not to be mistaken. The inking could be Feldstein, when looking at the folds in clothing. He is also credited on inking the Ace story in issue #7 by JVJ. |
