Synopsis:
Promo for the three Temerson-related titles, although neither of the other two published any further issues with this cover date or later under Temerson's publisher. Speed Comics would be taken over by Leo Greenwald and then Harvey.

Indexer Notes

Notably, the Worth Carnahan-published series (Champion Comics, Cyclone Comics and O.K. Comics) which some sources associate with Temerson, are not included in this promo.
