Sales to Fawcett, Quality, Timely, and Holyoke/Aviation Press; and another Mad Hatter unpaid-for because it was written for Woolfolk's own company, OW.
The Sybil feature was paid for, at the same rate as Black Raiders and Chin Chop, so I imagine it went unpublished like those stories—I can't find it anywhere. I couldn't track down the Super Rabbit story's publication. UPDATE: I found the Manhunter falcons story since first posting.
Woolfolk crossed out one entry in the notebook: what would have been his last Spirit story (thus making one he wrote in October 1944 his last sold). Instead of "payment received" on this one he noted "duplicate plot" but gave no description.

"Duplicate Plot" might be a note to the effect that a Spirit story had a plot lifted from another detective story. Woolfolk did that at least once with a Raymond Chandler short story, and it might have signified that a Spirit story was rejected because they learned of the plagiarism. Or not. No way to know at this date.
ReplyDeleteI've seen Woolfolk reuse situations from his earlier stories once or twice, although the new story went off in a different enough direction. There's a Doll Man of his that lifts the first line from "Citizen Kane" but otherwise has nothing to do with the movie.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the Super Rabbit story might be the one from ALL SURPRISE COMICS #9, which has the first line "I'm Super Rabbit!" "No, I am!" according to the GCD. But we don't have the comic yet, so it's QED.
