Stories and art by Robert Ripley and others. Harvey presents the first comic-book based on the popular comic strip featuring oddball facts from around the world. A dream leads to the discovery of America by Europeans. A look at the current and future state of space travel, as of 1953. A lashing saves enslaved Russians, while a Bible rescues a besieged battalion. The "human pin cushion" cover seems to have directly inspired the "Believe It or Don't!" parody in Harvey Kurtzman's Mad (1952 Comic) #23, two years later.
