Have a look at the first page of Captain America #1 (March 1941). Note the credits, how is it possible to have such cachet? Specifically , it is Jack and Joe, but they are not the first to command such recognition. Who else was there, who did?

Steve thanks for pointing that out. I've never seen the first issue in it's entirety.

How does the publishing industry return policy and practice tie into the US Prohibition?

 I don't see how that is relevant to this thread. I don't know what the connection might be. Non the less I am still intrigued. Please share how it ties together.

There is a (historical) level of corruption which runs with the publishing and (any) distribution system (many publishers had a distribution company) and the corruption had an effect on all aspects of the working environment of the comic book creators. And perhaps without such influence on the creators, we would not have "this thread".

Yes given that the mob was hugely responsible for much of what was going on during the early years of publishing. Certainly comicbook publishing, I don't know how they would be responsible for creators getting credit. But you could be right they could have had some influenced.
