    Painted cover art by Norman Saunders. Stories and art by Clem Weisbecker and others. A "Boys' Life"-style comic promoting hunting, fishing and other outdoors activities for 1950s boys. What makes it "a new kind of comic book" (as the cover says) is that the stories are interrupted periodically with tips on gun safety, proper fishing techniques, etc. Bob goes fishing for striped bass from the rocky seashore. Bob and his pals go bow hunting and encounter an unexpected jaguar. Plus text articles and photos on fishing tips, rifle care, and the golden eagle. And a Shazam dot-to-dot puzzle! Sun, Surf, and Stripers; How to Clean Your Rifle; Bob Swift and the Spotted Killer; Fishing Tips. Final issue of the series. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
