Notes

• "The Jap Devil Dragon":
  • Alan Armstrong smokes a pipe.
  • Von Schutz wears a monocle. He's still alive at this story's end.
  • Shaku speaks near-normal English. In comic books of 1942, almost all Japanese villains spoke in an idiotic dialect; this one is a rare exception. He's also still alive at this story's end.
  • The Devil Dragon inflicts a vast swath of death and destruction across the United States. Afterward this is never mentioned again.
• "The Komitaji":
  • Gestapo Officer Stossman wears a monocle. He was not visible in the final battle scene; his fate is uncertain.
  • Spy Smasher's Gyrosub is mentioned but does not appear.
  • Admiral and Eve Corby do not appear, which is unusual in a Spy Smasher story.
• Also appearing in this issue of Spy Smasher were:
  • Contents page, art by Mac Raboy
  • "Death Visits the Dentist" (text story) by Joseph J. Millard
