| Samson and the two Fletcher Hanks stories are the highlights of this issue. Yank Wilson is the only lame story in this issue since I really couldn't follow and it just bored me. I also got to mention that some of the pages are poorly scanned (the beginning of Samson and the later pages of Sub Saunders). |
