After reading the Dan Hastings story, I can state the following: The text of the story is complete from beginning to end. The title page is the only page that appears to be missing. The title of the Dan Hastings story is "50 Men Outside". This is determined from an examination of the titles listed on the contents page, and a process of elimination of the other known features. Although the name Dan Hastings doesn't appear on the contents page, on page 36 of the story appears the line "At this very minute there are fifty men outside the building." The likely author is Ken Fitch, since his name appears on the credits of all prior Dan Hastings text features. This is a very odd sort of Dan Hastings story. Although the story takes place on the planet Mercury, it is essentially a criminal investigation story is which Hastings busts up a hotel gambling ring operation. The only real science-fiction angle of the story is when the crooks threaten to eliminate Dan by tossing him in the lava river which flows just outside the hotel.

NameStar Comics v1 9 | Published
PublicationPrice: 0.10 USD | Pages: 68 | Frequency: monthly | Editing: Harry "A" Chesler (Editor, credited); George Nagle (Managing Editor, credited)
NotesStatement of Ownership, Management, Circulation, Etc. on credits/table of contents page. Index updated from a DCM scan missing pages 31-34 and 61-62. There is considerable confusion surrounding this issue and the previous issue (Star Comics #8) in older sources. The original indexes were taken from Howard Keltner's guide, which appears to have swapped the contents of #8 and #9 (with a few inconsistencies). Even though the DCM scan is incomplete, the table of contents page is unquestionably that of #9, as it includes the indicia as well, and makes it clear that the Keltner listing for #8 come from the contents page of #9.

Comic StoryColt Canyon (2 pages)
GenreWestern-frontier
NotesThis story may or may not be located at this point- the pages here are missing from the available scan. The page count would fit given the expected page counts of the features to either side (the page count is from Keltner's index, although as with most of the issue, it is incorrectly listed under #8- however, it appears on this issue's title page which otherwise exactly matches the interior contents). Alternately, the story listed as "50 Men Outside" may actually be "Colt Canyon" (with a 1-page filler occupying the extra space), and "50 Men Outside" may be a 2-page story here.

NotesThe available scan is missing the first page of this story, but Ken Fitch was credited on earlier splash illustrations. This story is at least 7 pages, and 8 pages is likely as that is the length of the installment in issue #7 (the text story for #8 has not been indexed at this time).

Comic Story50 Men Outside (3 pages)
GenreWestern-frontier
NotesIt's not entirely clear if this is "50 Men Outside" or not, as only the final page is present in the available copy. It may be "Colt Canyon", which is the other story on the table of contents that is not accounted for. The story is not mentioned in Keltner's guide, so there's no telling whether it's a 2 or 3 page story (it's possible that there was a 1-page filler that is also part of the 2 pages that are missing between this feature and the previous one.
