"Despite the restrictions on newsprint Miller ... was able to introduce a continuing title when he published Monster Comics No. 1 in January 1945 ... For expediency, Monster was published as a tabloid size comic giving it a physical appearance in keeping with its name. As well as carrying Miller's "Pete and Pinky", the comic contained "Peter Jury" and "Jimmy Allan" by Lawson, "The New Chum" by Carl Lyon, and "Goofy Gadgets", "Sprat & Baldy", and Dizzy's Lizzie" by Mercier. But the largest portion of the comic, by far, was devoted to text stories by Frank Clune, Barlett Adamson, Jack Heming and others as well as competitions, riddles, jokes, crossword puzzles and educational features contributed by Miller" -- Ryan, John. Panel by panel. Stanmore, N.S.W. : Cassell Australia, 1979. Page 180.
