    The appearance of a nude woman on the cover of these early comics is extremely rare!

    Stories and art by Roy Crane, J. R. Williams, Norman Marsh, Irwin Myers, Al McWilliams, Merrill Blosser, Ray Thompson, Charles Coll, Martha Orr, Sol Hess, Wallace Carlson, Gene Ahern, Al Lewin, Frank V. Martinek, Leon A. Beroth, Abe Martin, Virginia Krausmann, Georges LĂ©vis and Ken Ernst. Crackajack Funnies presented original stories and reprints of classic comic strips, including Roy Crane's influential Wash Tubbs & Captain Easy. Captain Easy's boss is about to lose his carnival, unless Easy can raise $800 by fighting. Trying to escape the mountains, Captain Frank Hawks accidentally discovers the mountain hideout of Rico's narcotics ring. Myra North closes in on Jeffrey's killer, but her quarry catches her spying and suspects something's up. On the cover, the mis-coloring of a panel from the Myra North strip gives the impression of a nude woman - but it's actually a statue.
