Notes of Interest

Albert Cooper announced as one of the art contest winner from the contest announced in the first issue of Better Comics and a portion of his entry, which looks like a "Scotty" Macdonald prototype (his professional "Scotty" Macdonald feature doesn't appear until Dime Comics No. 1 in February 1942) is printed on p. 40. Tiger Tex's parrot acquires the name "Echo." Iron Man story and first 3 pages of The Hidden Passage story are in colour. Base colour of the pages vary as is common in early issues of Better.
