Cover by C. C. Beck. Stories and art by Jack Kirby, France Herron, Pierce Rice, James Wilcox, Gus Ricca, Ken Battefield, and Harold Sharp. A Fawcett anthology with an emphasis on superhero adventure. Brian Butler is the District Attorney of Gotham City (not Batman's Gotham, but still the first known use of this city name in comics). He fights crime with a more hands-on approach as the masked superhero Mr. Scarlet, in a story with early art by comics legend Jack Kirby. Seeking the truth about his superhuman strength and smarts, Atom Blake, "boy wizard," learns that atomic-ray treatments from his scientist father gave him superpowers. Before he can learn more, he must stop a bank robbery and prevent bad guys from launching Janie Smart into space. Mystery-magazine editor Jim Dolan solves real crimes in his spare time. Mr. Scarlet; Atom Blake; Puzzlettes; Jim Dolan; Diamond Jack; Who'da Thought It?; Rick O'Shay; Shipwreck Roberts; Our Strange Planet; White Rajah; Lucky Lawton. 64 pages, Full Color.

Stories and art by Otto Binder, Jack Binder, Pierce Rice, James Wilcox, and Ken Battefield. A Fawcett anthology with an emphasis on superhero adventure. Mr. Scarlet, nicknamed "the Crimson Knight," meets three of his greatest foes in quick succession, including: Dr. Death, whose strange musical compositions bring death to those who play them; The Ghost, a living skeleton out of the Scooby-Doo school of villainy; and jewel thief the Horned Hood, who looks like a bad Batman knockoff (though Bats was only a year old himself at the time). All three were future members of the "Death Battalion" (as well as Jon Morris's 2013 book The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains). Atomic-powered superkid Atom Blake reveals his latest superpower - splitting into two identical Atom Blakes - before flying off to Mercury in search of his father, and being captured by Mercury's gigantic insects. Wealthy playboy Allan Lanier is so inspired by the film Hunchback of Notre Dame, that he dresses as the Hunchback to fight crime, surely one of the stranger superhero identities.
