Issue Notes

On sale date from date stamp on one known copy.

Cover matches that of an American comic published June 1944, but the contents do not seem to match any American comic. They do, however, appear to be from the same studio as produced many Genoa published comics.

Partial index based on interior scans from an eBay auction.
