Khaki Komics {Comic Books}
Note: Series found by Frank Motler when this copy was offered for sale on an unremembered site which did not supply any additional information.
A purported back cover scan (possibly inside back cover) is a full-page ad by the Chicago Mail Order Co., although not the typical back cover picture of their building as seen on C-M-O Comics #1-2. This would be similar to Liberty Guards Comics, which has full-page Chicago Mail Order Co. ads on the inside front cover and inside and outside back covers, with no indicia of any sort present anywhere. Both are probably some sort of CMO giveaway, but this has never been clearly established in either case.
Both this comic and Liberty Guards re-use the cover art of other Comic Corporation of America publications, with a new title banner without any price or numbering. In this case, the cover art comes from Stars and Stripes Comics #2. If the analogy with Liberty Guards holds, the contents are probably a full-issue reprint, although likely not from the same issue as the cover.
Only this one issue has ever been seen.

Liberty Guards Comics {Comic Books}
Note: According to Howard Keltner's Golden Age Comics Book Index (Second Edition), this was published directly by the Chicago Mail Order Co., unlike C-M-O Comics which was published for the Chicago Mail Order Co. by Comic Corporation of America, one of Centaur's two regular publishing companies.
In fact, the comic is a rebinding/reprinting of Man of War Comics #1 with the cover art of Liberty Scouts Comics #3 with a new "Liberty Guards" title banner. The inside front cover, and inside and outside back covers, are Chicago Mail Order ads, and where the indicia would normally be, "THE CHICAGO MAIL ORDER COMPANY...CHICAGO" is printed in large bold letters. However, this is clearly part of the ad and not a minimalist indicia.

1942 | 1 |
Liberty Scouts Comics {Comic Books}
Note: Becomes Liberty Guards Comics (issue not numbered) when the Boy Scouts of America Corporation forced a name change as explained in a letter from the Liberty Scouts/Guards characters in issue #3. Contents also continue in Man of War Comics #1 and 2. Liberty Guards Comics #[nn] has the same contents as Man of War Comics #1, but the former was published by (or possibly for) the Chicago Mail Order Co., presumably as a giveaway. Man of War Comics, however, was a normal Centaur/Comic Corporation of America publication.
Content continues in Man of War Comics (Centaur, 1941 series) #1.
