About this issue

This November 1954 issue features two adventure stories by Charles R. Myers starring the character Toffee. "Toffee Takes a Trip" opens the issue at page 4. The main story, "Toffee Haunts a Ghost," begins at page 62. The narrative establishes Marc Pillsworth, a sunburned vacationer separated from his wife Julie, brooding alone on a beach. He reflects on Toffee—a vivacious phantom from his imagination who materializes when excitement emerges. His solitude shatters when a bald, animated man and a gaunt woman descend to the beach; they disappear behind a boulder and vanish in an explosion caused by a tiny, impossibly powerful white capsule invented by Dr. Herrigg. Marc discovers the woman survives; the man, "Eppy," is vaporized. The woman possesses more of these dangerous capsules and reveals her grudging knowledge of their properties while another explosion interrupts proceedings. Illustrated throughout by H. W. McCauley.
