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.
