Story Notes
Letters credit from Todd Klein via his Klein Letters blog (19 September 2016, http://kleinletters.com/Blog/ira-schnapp-in-worlds-finest-comics-part-2/). Apparently, the stories with the villainous Mr. Peg were printed out of order, as the Boy Commandos don't recognize him here, but in his appearance in the story in Boy Commandos #22 (July-August 1947) he is referred to as "an old acquaintance." (Characters and note added by Kendall Smiley via the GCD Error Tracker.)
