This month's stories sold to the Railroader Ray unknown company of December 1945, as well as Fawcett and Timely.
As of this posting, the Grand Comics Database entry for Mary Marvel 10 has been miscrediting the Dr. Whirro story as a 14-pager written by Otto Binder. In fact, the Dr. Whirro story by Woolfolk is 7 pages and then there's a separate 7-pager, "The Birdmobile," (the cover story) which is indeed by Binder.
I couldn't track down the Young Allies story's publication (if it was published). UPDATE: after not finding the Captain America stories (apart from "Inspector Leeds") anywhere in the comics, I've noted them as unpublished. darkmark found the "Stratosphere Treasure Hunt" publication info that I hadn't. FURTHER UPDATE: In his comment darkmark was correct about the dictator story, as an eventual look at the issue showed.

"Captain Midnight fights a dictator" is probably "Captain Midnight Fights For Freedom." Unfortunately, my copy is a reprint and I don't know the issue it came from.
ReplyDeleteIt's frustrating that the CGD has every issue of Captain Midnight entered on the overview grid as indexed when many issues contain only the page counts (from Howard Keltner, I'm sure) and "no title indexed," "no title indexed," "no title indexed," "no title indexed."
ReplyDeleteYeah, but the problem is, none of us seem to *have* those issues, in hard copy or fiche. When we get more data, we'll enter it.
ReplyDeleteBut until the data is discovered and entered, don't you think the Index Status for those issues should be "Skeleton Data Only" (white on the grid) rather than "Indexed" (green)?
ReplyDeleteI love the CGD, think it the best resource on the net for comic book data, and contribute to it myself. It is, in fact, a noble enterprise. But I agree with Martin: There should be a third color (perhaps light green) than indicates story titles only or "Skeleton Data Only." Perhaps a suggestion to the site is in order?
ReplyDelete"Stratosphere Treasure Hunt" appeared in CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT #45.

ReplyDeleteIt's possible "Fights a Dictator" is "Utopia In the Clouds" from CM #46, though it's one page shorter than cited. Can you check it?
ReplyDelete"Utopia in the Clouds" is already accounted for; it's the Utopia in the sky story that Woolfolk wrote in October 1945.
