| Notes | Art revision from Lew to Sam Glanzman by Craig Delich. According to the Who's Who, the Glanzman's were brothers that worked on Amazing Man (Lew in 1940 and Sam from 1940-42). Sam often signed his artwork "Glanz" (such as on this cover), but Lew did not, again indicated by the Who's Who. This issue was cover dated March, 1941, and, barring any evidence extant to the contrary, this cover had to have been done by Sam, not Lew. |

| Notes | Title and character information from Lou Mougin, June 2009. Art revision from Lew to Sam Glanzman by Craig Delich. The Who's Who indicates that Sam Decker was a pen-name used separately or in tandem by brothers Lew and Sam Glanzman. Sam is believed to have done the cover to this issue, as it is signed "Glanz", which Sam often used when he drew art and apparently Lew did not. Also the issue was published in 1941 after Lew had left the feature. The art on Aman also appears to be the same as the cover art. |

| First Line | Dash! What was it? |
| Notes | Interesting note: if one spells the names of the two colleges running in the relays backwards, you have: "Harvard" (Dravrah) and "Yale" (Elay). The signature, Harry Francis Campbell, signed on the splash page, is a by-line only for this issue. Campbell DID illustrate this story, in different form, in The Arrow #3, which is not a true reprint, as Taylor's illustrations in this issue are totally different from Campbell's work in The Arrow version. The captions have also, in most instances, been re-worded in The Arrow version, although the plot is basically the same. (notes added by Craig Delich) |
