| Notes | Art credit info from Tim Barnes, November 2007. This book is generally listed as coming out in 1946. There is no date on the book. Based on contents and similar Baily titles, it more likely came out in early 1945. Jerry Bails’ Who’s Who lists some of the comic book’s artists, Howie Post and Munson Paddock, as only having done work for Baily Publications in 1945, indicating further that 1945 is the probable year of this comic book's publishing. |
