| Synopsis | The Jinx is a blind black monkey, surviving owner after owner managing to survive until it comes to Dusty, the Shield’s kid partner.

| Genre | Superhero |
| Characters | Jinx (a black monkey, introduction); Legs Sardi (villain, introduction, death) |
| Pencils | Clem Weisbecker ? |
| Inks | Pen Shumaker ? |
| Notes | Originally credited "Sy Reit ?", but his style is much cruder and with thinner inklines, as in credited story in Planet Comics #16. This story has much in common with Captain Commando by Clem and Pen, but they are both only credited on ink on this feature. Novick is credited only on pencils at this period, but there is none of his large action panels. The long rectangular faces often with sharp corners can also be found in other stories signed by Clem/Pen. |

| Pencils | Clem Weisbecker ? |
| Inks | Pen Shumaker ? |
| Notes | The "Black Hood" feature formerly appeared in Top Notch Laugh Comics (Archie, 1942 Series), but is now moving to Pep Comics. At the same time, it is also appearing in Black Hood Comics (Archie, 1943 Series) uninterrupted. Originally credited "Bill Vigoda ?", but compared with his signed stories in Shield-Wizard Comics, those faces are much more rounded and with smaller ears. Clem and Pen are both credited on inking this feature, but as it is so similar to the signed Captain Commando story, most probably they made this one too. Compare the rectangular faces. |
