- Chesler's brand during his immediate pre-war publishing activities with Dynamic Publications, Inc.

Brand emblem belongs to the brand groups:
| Brand Group | Publisher | Issues | Year Began | Year Ended | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chesler | Chesler / Dynamic | 55 | 1937 | 1946 | Throughout his comics publishing career, Chesler incorporated his name into his branding in various ways. Sometimes it was the primary branding, other times it was involved in his syndicate's name and appeared only in small print. Other times it was directly incorporated into the World's Greatest Comics branding. After the war, Chesler started using his son's name (Harry "A" Chesler, Jr.) despite his son not actually being involved in the publishing operation as best as any research has been able to determine. But the common thread is the "Chesler" name in some form. Since Chesler mixed and matched various branding elements which are by necessity lumped for the brand emblems, the brand groups track and group by the elements ("Chesler", "Dynamic", or "World's Greatest Comics"). |
| Dynamic | Chesler / Dynamic | 12 | 1937 | 1942 | During 1941-42, Chesler incorporated the name of his publishing company at the time (Dynamic Publications, Inc.) into his "World's Greatest Comics" branding. Since Chesler mixed and matched various branding elements which are by necessity lumped for the brand emblems, the brand groups track and group by the elements ("Chesler", "Dynamic", or "World's Greatest Comics"). |
| World's Greatest Comics | Chesler / Dynamic | 50 | 1941 | 1946 | Some form of a "World's Greatest Comics" rectangular logo appeared throughout Chesler's second main comic book publishing venture (1941-1946), sometimes alone but most often with one or two other branding elements. |
