Avon Publications had been a presence on America's newsstands for four years when they entered the comic book field in 1945 with Molly O'Day Super Sleuth #1. Molly O'Day was created by unknown creators working for the Harry A. Chesler studio. The release was cover-dated February 1945 and may have been put together simply to demonstrate to business partners that Avon was entering the comic book business, but beyond that, this one-shot title is a bit of an underappreciated mystery.
By this time, the company maintained a back catalog of self-help, 'home study' and a dizzying array of other non-fiction and fiction titles in clothbound and various formats of softcover editions with a heavy mail-order sales presence. At this point, the company came under the control of Joseph Meyers and his sister Edna Meyers Williams. Meyers and Williams had run publishing businesses beginning around 1928 with Illustrated Editions Company and related companies.
