FUNNY PAGES is published monthly at 404 N. Wesley Ave., Mount Morris, Ill., for Comics Magazine Company, Inc., 1213 W. 3rd St., Cleveland, Ohio. EDITORIAL OFFICE, 11 W. 42nd St., New York, N. Y. From indicia on contents page: FUNNY PAGES is published monthly by Ultem Publications, Inc., Mount Morris, Illinois. EDITORIAL OFFICE, 276 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK, N. Y.

Incorrectly listed as v2#3 in indicia on inside front cover; correct numbering on contents page. Index created from a scan from http://goldenagecomics.co.uk/. Scan missing 8 center pages, which would fall between sequences 18 & 19, and include at least one page of the text story. Keltner's guide lists many more features than could fit in the missing pages.
