Disclose Notes: First Mary Marvel strip.

Last appearance in Captain Marvel Adventures #19, based on cover dates; based on "on-sale" dates, this comic PRE-cedes Captain Marvel Adventures 19 (which is a Christmas story, and this being "The Night Before Christmas" might actually make more sense being her second appearance, instead of third appearance.)
