Notes
- Published monthly by Comic Favorites, Inc.
- The Clock:
- The Clock's disguise-identity of "Snowy Winters" is a drug addict.
- Tyrone Carron was murdered two days earlier, on the 19th of April, according to Muscles Mully's written confession.
- This issue's episode of The Clock Strikes! re-uses exactly the same plot as the "Clock" story in Detective Picture Stories #5, April 1937, right down to the detail of the villain using copies of The Clock's own calling cards to frame him.
