At times Korky Kangaroo is spelled in Woolfolk's notebook and at EC as Kangroo.
The Captain Marvel "School Editor" story was the closest I could find to match "Sports Editor," but there would have been some rewriting if so. "School Editor" involves a character called Dean Martin—not the singer co-star of the early issues of Jerry Lewis's comic, but a Mr. Martin who's dean of a school.
On the Young Allies story I need help in narrowing it down to issue of publication. Possibly, like the earlier 15-page YA stories, it went unpublished; it's not one of the final three, in Marvel Mystery 81-83.

If the Young Allies story was really published, the only place it could have gone is either MARVEL MYSTERY #77 or 78. Don't have the YA stories for either one.
ReplyDeleteYes, 77's YA story title, "Menace at Midnight," could have been substituted by the editors for just about anything by the writer--even "The Coming of Galactus."
