    Cover by Ogden Whitney. Edited by Richard E. Hughes. Art by Ogden Whitney, John Forte and Emil Gershwin. Cover by Ogden Whitney. A new era begins for the formerly straight-faced science-fiction anthology from legendary early independent comics publisher ACG.

Nevertheless, he can fly, talk to animals, intimidate alien invaders, consult with world leaders, and charm any woman. He also manages to save a shipwrecked U.S. Senator. Thus is born one of the great unheralded heroes of 1950s comics. Also, a theater agent insults the wrong stage magician; A WWII fighter pilot gets shot down and finds himself on board a pirate ship in the distant past. Herbie's Quiet Saturday Afternoon!; Magic Maker; Thanksgiving Day!; The Riddle of Robert O'Malley! 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
