Big Shot #45

Big Shot #45 is an anthology featuring multiple stories. The lead story involves a spy thriller in which a woman operative gathers important intelligence and arranges to get to London as soon as possible, but encounters complications including a murder and Nazi officers, requiring her to escape through a back alley. "Joe Palooka" by Ham Fisher follows the boxing character as he attempts to help the war effort by gathering scrap materials, but his well-intentioned efforts to collect items from neighbors inadvertently cause problems, including frightening a woman with ammonia and antagonizing new neighbors whose dog he disturbs. The issue also includes stories featuring Skyman, Dixie Dugan, Captain Yank, Sparky Watts, and Bo and the Face, as advertised on the cover.
