Comic Crossovers in the Public Domain?

After doing some research I noticed that Quality Comics had somewhat of a connected universe.

What are some of the crossover issues of not just Quality but all Public Domain Comics?

The most famous crossover in Public Domain comics is the one that happened between the Shield and Wizard, both MLJ characters. This marks the first ever crossover in the history of superhero comics, coming right before the Human Torch vs Sub-Mariner crossover.

It can be found in Pep Comics #4: https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=70621
