Woolfolk Records 1950/05

 

These blog entries present the records William Woolfolk jotted down when he wrote and sold scripts in the Golden Age. Donna Woolfolk let Marc Svensson scan the original notebook; I've transcribed, leaving out the payment info but adding (in bold) the publication info I've tracked down. Woolfolk's publishers for May 1950 scripts were Fawcett and Orbit.

The text story carries William Woolfolk's byline (as must his text for Joe Louis 1), per Fawcett's policy. He had some early bylines as Bill Woolfolk; to find all his known credits listed in the Grand Comics Database you'll have to search under both forms of his name.
