Stories

Notes: Stan Lee, Editor, Al Avison, associate Editor.

After the departure of Joe Simon, Stan Lee wasted no time to introduce a contents page, that boldly listed him as the editor. I am still not sure if that means Stan Lee wrote the Captain America stories as well. But at the very least it leaves that option. - Ger Apeldoorn.
Notes: Case file 4472-F.

Some Captain America stories have a case file number. This seems to be to be the gimmick of one of the writers of this strip, as it doesn't appear on all stories. - Ger Apeldoorn
