I get the feeling there's a story behind this comic but I just don't know it. It reads like a collection of features intended for other books. Molly O'Day reminds me of the b&w Sally the Sleuth strips in detective pulps. Who's doing the Lou Fine imitation in the Enchanted Dagger story? I swear it looks like George Tuska in places. The anonymous Romeo and Juliet two-pager is nice, too.

Virtually everything in this comic is reprints from earlier Harry "A" Chesler comics. A number of the features were also reprinted again in various Avon and I.W. comics in the 1950s and 1960s.

Molly O'Day is a pretty cool character. She knows her way around both a police case and a brawl. Pity that she doesn't seem to appear anywhere else.

It doesn't seem that any of this material appears in any previous publication. An essay here - https:bleedingcool.com/comics/the-mystery-of-avons-comic-book-debut-molly-oday-1-up-for-auction/ claims "Avon's mysterious 'Molly O'Day Super Sleuth #1' marked their 1945 comic book debut. Unknown creators from Harry A. Chesler studio crafted this enigmatic one-shot issue. Joseph Meyers leveraged 'Molly O'Day' to propose a Saint comic series to Leslie Charteris. The cover art of 'Molly O'Day #1' is a known swipe from a 1940 'Inside Detective' cover."

NotesThe first panel has been revised: a dialogue balloon reading "I'm a Penner fer keeps, now!" has been erased. Possibly Joe Penner's permission wasn't obtained for the reprint, or the editors thought people had forgotten who Joe Penner was by this time. The subsequent reprints are the revised version.
