    Cover by Ham Fisher (credited). Stories and art by Ham Fisher, Bob Powell, Jack Keeler, Salo, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Ham Fisher's comic-strip boxer has adventures both inside and outside the ring. In the South Pacific, Joe and Jerry ride the derelict Japanese ship to Drooten Island, seemingly safe from the Axis on a Dutch plantation, but Polynesian refugee Melody suspects a trap. Chickie Ricks, The Flyin' Fool, wrestles with Umblau, the mad genius with the fate of the world in a vial in his hands, in a story with nice good-girl art and a terrific splash page by Bob Powell. Plus a prose adventure of the superhero Stuntman, with spot illustration by comics legends Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Also featuring a "letter to the reader" from publisher Alfred Harvey about Harvey's latest strip-to-comic-book acquisition, Terry and the Pirates. The Drooten Island Mystery; Drootens Hospitality; Jungle Rendezvous; Amazing Discovery; Stuntman: Ferryboat Menace; Junior Genius: The Great Train Mystery!; The Flyin Fool: Umblau the Genius; Cartoon Laughs. 52 pages, Full Color.
