Paper: Newsprint


Notes: Publishing hiatus between #6 and #7 from October 1940 to March 1941 with nearly as long of a gap between #7 and #8. Title clearly continued into the 1942 Comedy Comics series as it continued both the volume and issue numbering as well as four of the features that were present in issue #8. Numbering also continued two years later as Daring Comics.
