Disclose Notes: A promotional house advertisement for a new comic series Yank Ranger Comics is listed as coming soon. The series was never published.

It is probable that Street and Smith could not obtain a trademark to "Yank Ranger Comics" due to Fiction House renaming Rangers of Freedom Comics (Fiction House, 1941 series) to Rangers Comics (Fiction House, 1942 Series) with issue #8 (December 1942). That issue was released on September 3, 1942, while the issue this advertisement appears was released on October 30, 1942.

This comic would be released as Devil Dogs Comics (Street and Smith, 1942 Series) #1 (1942).
