Cover by Raeburn Van Buren. Stories and art by Raeburn Van Buren. An anthology comic from St. John; this issue featured reprints of the classic comic strip Abbie an' Slats. (In fact, the lack of an issue number or "Treasury of Comics" on the cover means this is sometimes listed as Abbie an' Slats (1948) #1.) The adventures of city boy Slats, his small-town sweetheart Becky, and Becky's reprobate father "Bathless Groggins," with exceptionally nice art by Raeburn Van Buren. When Bathless comes into a small fortune, the fortune-hunters come out of the woodwork. First One-Eyed Maggie shows up with proof of her long-forgotten marriage to Bathless. Then Hollywood swindlers Vermly and Rott target Becky's dreams of stardom. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
