About this issue

This issue contains the opening chapters of "Bob Rockett's Fight for Life: Shadowed in New York" by Charles Morris, a serial adventure tale. Bob Rockett, a fugitive from both a bank robbery and now implicated in the murder of Sally Crapper, hides in a shabby East River tenement room owned by his friend Beau Bink. When police raid the building, Bob vanishes mysteriously despite the officers' thorough search, leaving Beau bewildered and initially protective—until learning of the murder charge convinces him to aid the authorities. The narrative emphasizes suspense and close pursuit, with detailed descriptions of Bob's cool resourcefulness under pressure and the policemen's methodical search tactics.
