Disclose Notes: ALL-WINNERS COMICS is published quarterly by WESTERN FICTION PUBLISHING COMPANY, INC. Office of Publication: 418 Cherry Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Editorial and Business Office: 350 Fifth Avenue, New York 1, N. Y. Entered as second-class matter April 24, 1941 at the post office at Meriden, Conn., under the Act of March 3, 1879. Copyright 1946 by WESTERN FICTION PUBLISHING COMPANY, INC. Vol. 1, No. 19 FALL 1946 issue. 10c per copy. No similarity between any of the names, characters, persons, and/or institutions appearing in this magazine with those of any living or dead person or institution is intended, and any such similarity which may exist is purely coincidental. Printed in the U.S.A.

The on-sale date is from the publication date recorded in the Catalog of Copyright Entries, Third Series, Vol. 1, Part 2, Nos. 1&2, Periodicals, 1946-1947.

Chronologically, the next All-Winners Squad story is in What If? (Marvel, 1977 series) #4, which retroactively establishes that the post-VE Day Captain America and Bucky are actually William Naslund (a.k.a. The Spirit of '76) and Fred Davis. It is possible that this retroactive continuity actually applies since issue #16.

Lee and King signed this piece and are, most likely, two separate people. Bill King did such house ads from 1941-43 and Stan Lee wrote such ads during the same years.
