Inferior Man's last appearance was in Military Comics #13 (November 1942), which was creator Al Jaffee's last issue. Beginning with this issue, and lasting until #72 (October 1943), Art Stahl takes over the feature. The strip no longer had Jaffee's warped sense of fantasy and Inferior Man's adventures became less military focused.
