Notes

Most copies of this issue have "JULY" somewhat blacked out but still readable on the cover with "AUGUST" displayed clearly right under the issue number. This has led to inconsistent reporting of the date of this issue. The indicia lists July. MYSTIC COMICS published monthly by Timely Publications at Meriden, Conn. Entered as second class matter at Post Office at Meriden, Conn., under Act of March 3, 1879. Yearly subscription in U. S. $1.00. Vol. 1, No 4, July 1940. Entire contents copyright 1940 by Timely Publications, 330 W. 42nd St., N. Y., N. Y. Printed in U. S. A. For advertising write Marvel Group, 330 W. 42nd St., N. Y. C. The on-sale date is from the publication date recorded in the Catalog of Copyright Entries, Part 2, Periodicals, 1940, New Series, Vol. 35, No. 3, p322. With this issue, the Chesler connection vanishes, with even familiar features being drawn mostly by Funnies, Inc. which had been packaging Marvel Mystery Comics from the start. Some stories are of less clear origin as noted below. Art spotting as noted in the Masterworks credits unless otherwise noted.
