Note: Probably a surrogate but this is not confirmed.

Note: Harry "A" Chesler's first comic book publishing company. Bought out by Ultem whose only change was to shrink the size of the comics to the emerging standard size and give Chesler two additional titles to produce. Otherwise, Chesler continues to produce Ultem's books exactly as he had before. See http://www.comics.org/publisher/7631/ for more information on Ultem.

Note: This publishing company served as a surrogate for numerous other publishers.

Note: As Chesler resumed two of his ongoing titles, Dynamic Publications returned without the "Inc." it had sported before the war. Whether this is at all significant or just something that got left off at the printer is unknown. It is possible that Dynamic Comics #8 was published as early as 1942, but this has not been confirmed and there is no date anywhere on the issue. All other issues published by this form of the company were published with 1944 dates.

Note: Chesler's last pre-War publishing company, and the one most directly related to his post-War activities.

Note: The minimal indicia in the one known issue by this publisher combined with the supposed date (not actually mentioned in the indicia, and there is no copyright statement) makes it highly likely that this was a surrogate publishing arrangement for Chesler.

Note: Chesler's main post-war ongoing titles were published by this company through early 1946, after which the company was replaced by Harry A. Chesler, Jr. Publications, Inc. Flying Cadet Publishing Co. was founded on 1 September, 1944 and owned by the Chesler family.

Note: Note that it is A. (period, no quotes) in the indicia and not the familiar "A" (quotes, no period) that appears nearly everywhere else. Chesler's publishing company during the last year of his ongoing titles, which were later picked up by Superior Publishers Limited of Canada.

Note: Per Frank Motler in response to Edgar Loftin on the comics-pub list, 2012-09-18, Home Guide Publications is an imprint of McCombs: http://www.comics.org/publisher/2117/ publisher of Crown Comics. Here, it is serving as a surrogate publisher for contents packaged by Harry "A" Chesler.

Note: Used for an undated publication (possibly 1942?) of Captain Battle #3, a continuation of a Lev Gleason (New Friday) title. The exact nature of this publishing arrangement is unknown, but Chesler's syndicate name appears on the front cover.

Note: It is not entirely clear if this publisher was a surrogate for Chesler or not, but most Chesler publications of 1944-1945 were through something like a surrogate relationship.

Note: While the indicia used by this company is unusually complete for a surrogate, Pershing Square published comics on behalf of other publishers as well.
