Notes

Published monthly except May, August, November, and February by J.R. Publishing Company.
Atom gets head-konked unconscious with a handgun barrel.
Dr. Mid-Nite: Myra Mason does not know about Dr. McNider's special infra-red glasses.
In this point of time, the text is explicit that any non-metal objects could hurt Green Lantern, not only wood. Green Lantern gets head-konked unconscious with a wooden club.
The Impossible Isle in Hop Harrigan turns out to be populated by Stegosauruses and Pterodactyls, and some giant carnivores too. Like many similar islands, it is volcanically destroyed on the same day that it's discovered.
The Red Tornado and the Cyclone Kids are collectively called "The Terrific Trio" in at least one caption and in the dialogue of both Ma and the bad guys, but not in the title of the story. These are not the same characters as the Terrific Trio (DCAU).
Red, White and Blue: Red gets head-konked unconscious with a pistol butt.

- Cicero's Cat (newspaper strip reprints) by Bud Fisher
- Mutt & Jeff (newspaper strip reprints) by Bud Fisher
