Disclose Notes: Filing date: October 1, 1941.

Where the book's title appears in this statement of ownership, the word "Comedy" is handwritten in among the typeset text, because it had originally been set for (and carried the name of) Comedy Comics' predecessor, Daring Mystery Comics.

Appears on the second page of the "Dynamite Demon!" text story.
