| The cover is from Fox's Cosmo Cat #2 (1946) and I expected the insides to be the same. However the contents don't match any of our CB+ issues. Could it be Fox's Cosmo #4, which we don't have? At any rate the publishers of this 1957 comic didn't bother to change Cosmo's dialogue when he returns to the present: "I've got to go back to 1946!" Strangely enough, in 1959 a company called Norlen Magazines put out another Cosmo Cat #4, with the same cover, but neither Cosmo nor any of his backup features were present. Instead the insides were a reprint of Charlton's Zoo Funnies vol. 2 no. 6 (1954). To make matters worse, Norlen published a Cosmo Cat #2, which had the cover from Fox's Cosmo Cat #3 and unrelated insides that seem to from a Charlton title during the Al Fago era. Heaven knows what Norlen's Cosmo #3 contained--if it existed. What a mess. |

| The cover of this book (Green Publishing's Cosmo Cat 4) was reprinted from Fox's Cosmo Cat #2. But, the insides(other than 1 educational information page), were all reprinted from Fox Features' Ribtickler Comics #6, from 1946. The other page, "Tropical Topics", was reprinted from Fox's Zoot Comics #12, from 1948. Ribtickler #6 contained 52 pages, so 2 6-page stories, plus a couple 1-page gags, which appeared in that book, were not reprinted in Green Publishing's Cosmo Cat 4, because it had only 36 pages. |
