Cover by Dan Zolnerowich and Herb Rogoff. Stories and art by Charles Raab, Art Peddy, Jules Steiner, Jack Keller, and Dan Zolnerowich.

A female crimelord tries to turn herself and her fellow crooks into high-society types in 1880s New York. Spinster sisters Tabby and Birdie Rosebud, "the 70-year-old teenagers," enter a stock-car race in their ancient jalopy and astound fans and drivers alike with their speed.
