Pretty ho-hum stories with criminals getting their just desserts - but check out the ads!!
A really creepy illo of a child's "doll" in a pose taken straight from Vargas - eek.
A (partial) ad for a guide to writing love letters - I kid you not. Man, that must be handy.
The neatest bit is the warning from the Gleason stable that anyone found selling these comics "illegally" will be subject to the full weight of the law. Wow - if these stories are any guide, the offender is in real trouble!!
(Note to self: do not sell remaindered Gleason comics).
Lastly, a "Marvel Value Stamp" deal, decades before their Bronze Age introduction.
Take a look!!
