Promotional house advertisement in comic format for Tip Top Comics (United Feature, 1936) #v7#7 (79) (November 1942) including a reproduction of the cover for that issue.

It looks like it was signed on the last panel of the promo, but the name appears to have been x'ed out making it unreadable.

*Need the full title of this promo, copy indexed was missing the corner piece and the rest of the title (as of January 8, 2023)
