| Notes | The cover of The Green Mask 2/2 [13] (Summer 1945) is also by Stoner, and the text at the bottom of that cover reads "Pin-up of the Year," which would suggest this issue of Rocket Kelly--although copyrighted 1944--may have been actually published in 1945. Formerly credited to Lou Ferstadt |

| Notes | Rocket's sidekick's name seems to have been changed after the fact to "Punchy" (from "Whacky" in previous stories), as there is clear evidence of a paste-up on page 3. On page 7 he's called Whacky again, and by page 10 he's back to Punchy. |

| Notes | Although previous indexers credit Arnold Hicks with art on the first story in this issue and this one, the artwork appears rather different (compare Punchy in this story with Whacky/Punchy in the first story). |
