Woolfolk Records 1948/10

As with September 1948, I reconstructed the notebook page. Some hard-to-decipher words I figured out by working back from the stories in William Woolfolk's style that I found in the appropriate months, but I haven't seen the Monte Hales of this period. The next installment of Woolfolk's records will be January 1950.

Orbit, Quality, and Fawcett are the publishers. This is Kid Eternity's final issue of Hit; he'll be replaced by Mississippi steamboat captain Jeb Rivers (by other hands). The Golden Age of superheroes is losing steam...

UPDATE: Until Wanted 19 became available as a scan, the known story that seemed to fit this first one's description was "The Strange Case of Mortimer Dollard," the lead in issue 20. He may well have written that one too, of course—next month. ALSO: darkmark found the Monte Hale Weeper story, which fits the "meets" in the description and the June cover date alongside some of the other Fawcett stories here. Note that it was cut in half in number of pages between script and published story!
