Like most Amalgamated Press story papers, the Nelson Lee Library usually carried articles, serial stories, extracts from a fictional school newspaper as well as the main story.
Many of the serial stories were later reprinted, usually in the Boys Friend Library.
Note that Robert W Comrade was actually a pseudonym of Edwy Searles Brookes; and that Maxwell Scott was the original creator of the character Nelson Lee.
