Stories and art by Joe Beck, Otto Eppers, and Bill Harr. Superior takes over publishing of the early superhero and adventure anthology originally published by Harry Chesler. Rocketman and Rocketgirl search for Mr. X, who is hypnotizing teens into becoming juvenile delinquents and holdup gangs. The Master Key uses his X-ray vision to detect bank robbers inside Zip's Ice Cream Parlor. Johnny on the Spot stumbles on a crooked plot at the horse races; to solve it, he must take the jockey spot himself. Pre-Code action-girl cover featuring Rocketgirl is quite risque for its time.
