| All the stories in this book were originally produced by Fago Brothers Studios in 1945, in partnership with Robert Farrell, to be published in their partnership's "Kiddie Kapers" series. The inner contents (stories and puzzle pages) were slated to appear in issue #2 of that series. The adverts were current, for 1957, and the front cover was reprinted from the plate from Fox Features' Ribtickler #3, from 1946. All of Green Publishing's comic book issues were reprints, which, I believe, were purchased from several printer's warehouses "going out of business sales", similar to Israel Waldman getingt his material for IW and Super comics. I don't believe that Green bought the original art or plates directly from National Allied Publications, MLJ, Fawcett, Fox Features, Charlton, and other publishers, especially given that MLJ Publishing would not likely allow several of their comic books to be reprinted by another (rival) publisher only a mere 2 years after they first hit the newsstands. Although Farrell's and Al Fago's "Kiddie Kapers" was long out of business in 1957, Farrell was reprinting his own past funny animal comics material in his Ajax line of comics in that year(including "Kiddie Kapers), and Al Fago was doing the same with his "Kiddie Kapers" previously unpublished material, in his Charlton releases, as he was Charlton's Chief Editor, and was paid to produce children's comics for them. The same stories from this book were reprinted again, only one year later, in 2 different issues, both with reprint front covers from other Publishers, showing titles and characters completely unrelated to the characters in the stories inside. Clearly, THAT was done to avoid being sued for copyright infringement. |
