| Okay, this had all the earmarks of a "how bad is it?" book. Then you have the evil fight promoter who also had "bail bondsman" on his door. Then there's the panel with George Bernard Pshaw.
Definitely Jerry Siegel at work. |

| Re The cover. The credit reads, 'Whitman credit per Nick Caputo. Previous indexer credited Dick Giordano on pencils.' Those legs and the Negroes face in the foreground are Bill Fraccio, so maybe Whitman inked Fraccio and cleaned the job up a bit. |
