The first issue of this magazine that I read (#6) prompted me to look at others. I'm struck by the defensive subtitles on many pages:
"A good comic provides exciting action, minus objectionable scenes." "Evil men appear in some good stories. The point is, what happens to them?" "This magazine does not glorify crime. It deals chiefly with the pursuit of criminals." "Poor grammar or slang is used in this magazine only for purposes of characterization." And even, "Large, easy-to-read lettering in all 'balloons' in this magazine."
The spirit of Dr W looms high over Novelty Press headquarters!
