| What can I say, I got sucked in by the L.B. Cole cover - most of his work was for Star comics, and I got curious. Hmm, there's a text story by Gardner Fox (or Gardner F. Fox, as he's signed in here), too. And a nice violent opener, the Mr. Zin of the title shoots a guy RIGHT THROUGH THE HEAD on page five of HIS story - Okay, I've seen enough, seven stars and I AM OUTTA HERE! |

| Killer cover! Many thanks for sharing! |
|
| "They Tricked the Schoolgirl's Killer" is true, and makes this comic a keeper! |
