Five 15-page Young Allies stories written this month through November would have been meant for the team's own title, but it was cancelled and no Allies stories that length were published in other titles afterwards. The Black Venus entry I've updated with data from darkmark's comment; I hadn't tracked it down on my own. Likewise he intuited that I'd misread Woolfolk's Captain Marvel notation as "lonely witch" instead of "lovely"; I've added the publication data, like all the rest, in bold. (At this point the Captain Marvel Adventures date included month, day, and year.)
There is a 14-page Doll Man story on the notebook page, described "chess master," that went unpaid-for and that Woolfolk crossed out.
The Grand Comics Database's "Captain Marvel Junior and the Idol of Vengeance" credit to Woolfolk originated with my seeing his writing style in the 1970s DC reprint of the story.

The Black Venus "man tired of fighting fascism" story is from CONTACT COMICS #10.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the only thing I could find near to "the lonely witch" in a Captain Marvel 7-pager from 1945-48 is "The World's Wickedest Witch" in CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #59.
ReplyDeleteBlack Venus updated!
ReplyDeleteYes, my first candidate for the witch story was "The World's Wickedest Witch." But in reading it I just can't find a trace of the "lonely" concept. It could have been edited out, of course.
BTW, if you have scans of the entire "World's Wickedest Witch" story, please send 'em along...we're missing some pages. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNever mind, found a complete copy.
ReplyDeleteThe "lonely witch" IS "The World's Wickedest Witch". I believe "lonely" is a misread, and the word is actually "lovely". The witch in the aforementioned story does drink a potion to make herself lovely, and Woolfolk also writes 2 other stories in CMA #59. So I'm saying this is the story. Disagreements?
ReplyDeleteNo disagreement; that makes sense and makes it fit! I've updated that part of the post as well.
