    Cover by John Hix. Stories and art by Hal Forrest, Reynold Brown, and Abner Dean. Aviator hero Tailspin Tommy stars in reprints of his adventure strip, working as a pilot for hire alongside his pals Skeets and Barbara. Tommy, Skeets and Barbara venture to Puerto Bahongo Island and rescue long-lost pilot Tex Landon. Then they head to Marque and Miami. Tommy and his "para-shooters" take on the Versalians. Some of the art is likely early work by the strip's regular ghost artist, Reynold Brown, better known today for his vibrant painted movie posters. Tailspin Tommy; Funny Side Up. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
