Trivia · 8 facts

Cover date: January 1941; published by Fawcett Publications.
Bulletman (Jim Barr) is the cover feature and leads the issue with the 9-page story 'Pakro's Crime Battalion,' drawn by Jon Smalle.
Bulletman was created by writer Bill Parker and artist Jon Smalle; his first appearance was in Nickel Comics #1 (May 1940) before being moved to Master Comics.
The cover was drawn by Jack Binder; the issue's large creative roster includes Ken Battefield, Rafael Astarita, Tom Hickey, Harry Anderson, Ralph Carlson, and Al Duca across its anthology features.
Ralph Daigh served as Executive Editor (editorial director) of Fawcett's comic line at the time of publication.
Other stories in the issue include The Devil's Dagger ('Mr. H's Gold Grab'), El Carim ('Brevoort's Gambling Racket'), Captain Venture and the Planet Princess ('The Monster of Djung'), Lee Granger Jungle King ('Spy Encounter'), and Zoro the Mystery Man ('Drago and the Saboteurs').
Master Comics had transitioned from an oversized tabloid format (issues #1–6) to standard comic-book size starting with issue #7 — by issue #10 the standard format was firmly established.
Bulletman held the cover-feature slot in Master Comics until issue #23, when Captain Marvel Jr. took over as the title's lead character.
