Spy Smasher faces gladiatorial combat in the Roman Arena. A draftee deserts rather than serve in WWII, and soon he's recruited by Axis agents, but Spy Smasher offers him a chance at redemption. Plus a story by future Mad "Lighter Side" artist Dave Berg. The Deserter; Krishnu, Prophet of Evil; Bright Flames of War; The Quest of the Secret Weapon; On Convoy Duty. 64 pages, Full Color.
