"The Flame Presents the Teapot Dome Scandal" rates pretty high on my WTF-o-meter... |
|
Agree with you, Peter, about the Teapot Dome story. Could it have been intended for a crime comic (the story is done up melodramatically like a true crime story would be) and The Flame pasted over the original host? "A Star is Hatched" also seems to have sneaked in from another book. |

Just Mark testing the comments are still working after a bit of tinkering |
