Cover by C. C. Beck. Stories and art by Jack Kirby, France Herron, Pierce Rice, James Wilcox, Gus Ricca, Ken Battefield, and Harold Sharp. A Fawcett anthology with an emphasis on superhero adventure. Brian Butler is the District Attorney of Gotham City (not Batman's Gotham, but still the first known use of this city name in comics). He fights crime with a more hands-on approach as the masked superhero Mr. Scarlet, in a story with early art by comics legend Jack Kirby. Seeking the truth about his superhuman strength and smarts, Atom Blake, "boy wizard," learns that atomic-ray treatments from his scientist father gave him superpowers. Before he can learn more, he must stop a bank robbery and prevent bad guys from launching Janie Smart into space. Mystery-magazine editor Jim Dolan solves real crimes in his spare time. Mr. Scarlet; Atom Blake; Puzzlettes; Jim Dolan; Diamond Jack; Who'da Thought It?; Rick O'Shay; Shipwreck Roberts; Our Strange Planet; White Rajah; Lucky Lawton. 64 pages, Full Color.
