Thank you, MrTimely, for the excellent upload of this great Golden Age book!

The Sorceress of Zoom story is so crazy you'd think it was written by Fletcher Hanks. By the way, the book info is for a different comic.

The Additional information for this comic describes a different comic entirely. This is a well-composed cover, but an odd-looking one. Looks to me as if someone used a square piece of blue paper, cut out pictures of the characters from other comics and bits from the cover of another comic and cut and pasted them into a cover! Well, it would have saved a lot of time! one way to get the best of Fox! Pay peanuts, you get Monkeys!

Check out that "beautiful desk" on the back cover. Only one dollar...it's made of cardboard!

The file name says that this is a FH (Fiction House) publication when it is obviously not.

That aside, it's a nice scan/edit which shows that it's possible to present an old comic that is not a shade of dull orange.

The Sorceress of Zoom wears a new blue top in this one, the most scandalous to date. Once again the Sorceress finds a man she could love, someone who of course already has a girlfriend. We learn that the girlfriend's name is June but we never find out his name. June is horrified by the Sorceress but by the end of the story the man has a new appreciation for our wicked wizard. In this issue and the last, the Sorceress has some pretty thick arms, looks like she’s been working out.
