MAGICIAN with art by Chuck Winter. There is science fiction action featuring the time traveling
SCOTT RAND, presenting Jack Binder art. Charles Biro provides the artwork for the crime
fighting SWIFT OF THE SECRET SERVICE. WINGS JOHNSON, an American transport pilot who
enlists in the Royal Air Force when England declares war on Germany, has stunning artwork by
Irv Novick. Mort Meskin does the art chores for the stories of adventurer DICK STORM. The
great Jack Cole offers up the crime thriller MANHUNTERS as well as various one-page humor
