| Published 1961. Page 18 advertised 5 Annuals. I've seen a few British Annuals but these are unfamiliar to me. Anybody know anything about them?

| Crazy how Murphy Anderson, whose mature style was the essence of refinement and control, started out imitating the wild action of Lou Fine. As always, it's nice to see these stories in black and white so you can appreciate the drawing. |
|
| It now appears that the Captain Dexter text feature was from Planet Comics also-issue 5 in this instance. |
