Indexer Notes

Based on copyright dates, the three Commando Cubs stories in AMERICA’S BIGGEST COMICS BOOK #1 were likely published between their appearances in THRILLING COMICS #45 and #46.

Richard Hughes was previously credited with colours, but this was a result of a database glitch.

Whizzer donates a huge stack of comics to wounded soldiers, among the titles of which are Thrilling and Exciting.
