Woolfolk Records 1946/02

Marvel Family 9 cover
William Woolfolk wrote ten scripts this month for Fawcett and three for Timely.

Note that the editors cut one story by a page but expanded two stories.

Update: I agree with darkmark's comment about the Captain America stories; after looking through the comics themselves with his help and finding neither hide nor hair of these plots, I've relisted the stories here as unpublished.

And I had the "CM Traps a Sleepwalker" issue wrong in the original post; see again the comments.

  1. I'm beginning to think that those untraced Captain America stories by Woolfolk were bought but never used. There's no story I can find that really conforms to those descriptions, and Woolfolk may have had the idea to pose Cap in the position of many returning vets, only to have it vetoed by the Powers That Be in favor of conventional action-packed stories.

  2. BTW, "Traps a Sleepwalker" is in CMA #71, not #74.

  3. I think that's possible about the Cap stories, darkmark, considering the earlier Young Allies stories that are too long to fit anywhere and that definitely must have been written off by Timely.

    I fixed the CMA notation; I can't claim a typo on the 74 when I put down that issue's date originally!
