Plus a plethora of vintage comics-format ads. The Earth Changer; Paper, Mister?; Capt. Marvel Jr.: The Man With the Whirling Eyes; Lazy Lee; Headline Harry; Mary Marvel: The Sinister Sleep; The Luggage Mystery; Captain Marvel Battles the World's Greatest Lies; The Marvel Family Puzzle Page. 32 pages, Full Color.
