| Content | Genre: Humor; Superhero | Characters: Inferior Man [Courtney Fudd] |
| Notes | Inferior Man's last appearance was in Military Comics #13 (November 1942), which was creator Al Jaffee's last issue. Beginning with this issue, and lasting until #72 (October 1943), Art Stahl takes over the feature. The strip no longer had Jaffee's warped sense of fantasy and Inferior Man's adventures became less military focused. Notes added by Craig Delich 2013-4-6. |
