Notes

• This comic issue was published by Fox Features Syndicate, a defunct comic book publishing firm founded by Victor A. Fox.
• The only stories in this issue that are owned by DC Comics are the Blue Beetle stories, therefore they are the only stories that are completely indexed.
• Will Eisner's influence in the early Blue Beetle stories is undetermined. Most sources credit artist Charles Nicholas Wojtkowski with creating the character.
• None of the stories in this issue are titled. We are using titles made up by comics indexers in the 1960s-1970s.

Trivia

• The Blue Beetle's name and concept was largely inspired by the Green Hornet, a popular "Mystery Man" created by George W. Trendle in the 1930s.
• In these early issues, Dan Garrett's name is spelled "Garret" while later issues add the second T. Daniel Garrett is also provided with a rebooted origin, changing him from being a rookie police officer to an archaeologist.
