Thank you, Soothsayr, for adding this wild book! I'd never heard of it before and really enjoyed it. It certainly was not what I expected after looking at the cover. The story about the Japanese being sent to the incinerator and going up in smoke was certainly something else! Also a Rube Goldberg strip, as well - wowwee! Thanks again.

Never thought Philo Vance ever got his own comic, seems I was wrong.
