Notes: All stories list a 1945 copyright to Louis Ferstadt. Ferstadt was an artist and also ran his own comics shop at various times, so the content of this comic was most likely all a product of this shop. There is a known photograph of a newsstand where this issue appears on it among comic books that were known to have been released from mid-June to early-July 1945, making it likely this comic book was released around the same time.
