Cover by Harry E. Homan. Stories and art by Harry E. Homan. United's anthology series presented a different comic-strip character in every issue. This issue features the early fantasy humor/adventure comic strip Billy Make Believe by Harry E. Homan. Billy has adventures in an imaginary land of monsters, wizards and strange menaces. This collection may constitute the complete run of the strip, which lasted less than a year. Billy builds a rocket and goes to visit the Man in the Moon. Sinister puppet Jumping Jack kidnaps Dolly Gay and flies away in his toy airplane, so Billy takes off in pursuit, resulting in a dangerous air chase. Then Billy, Bub and Old Mr. Trip Van Twinkle make a trip to the top of the Toyland Mountains. The "topper" strip, "How to Make It," describes amateur craft projects readers can complete. This issue includes 61 "How to Make It" projects, from a spring-operated cannon to a weather vane to a working windmill. Fun cover captures the spirit of the Billy Make Believe strip. Billy Make Believe; How to Make It; H.E. Homan, Artist and Creator of Billy Make Believe. 64 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
