Notes: "Always buy magazines having the Atlas seal!" Shows cover mastheads of (left column) War Comics, Battle, Combat, Battle Action, Spy Fighters, War Combat, Young Men; (center column) Kent Blake of the Secret Service, Man Comics, Men in Action, Battlefield, Battlefront; (right column) Spy Cases, Combat Kelly, Battle Brady, Combat Casey, War Action, War Adventures, and Men's Adventures. The inclusion of both War Combat and Combat Casey is puzzling, as the former became the latter with issue 6. What can be seen of the former does not match any cover of that title, and appears to be "No. 6".
