The house ad on pg. 23 for "Leroy" comics is interesting, because Prize never published a comic under that name. Instead, this was issued as "Dudley" number 1.
Why? Probably because Standard (aka Pines, Nedor, Better) published another Archie-clone comic titled "Leroy" at almost exactly the same time (November 1949 cover date).
