In "The Demon Duplicators!", young Tom’s momentary rebellion with his father’s cigarettes sparks a tense showdown when bully Brown tries to steal them. With help from Jim, a calm but capable older boy, Tom stands up to the intimidation — not with fists alone, but with a quiet lesson in consequence. The story, illustrated with crisp energy by Tom Kerr, ends with a stark public service message: "Cigarettes Harm Your Health," delivered in bold letters. The cover, a dynamic piece by Jack Kirby with inks by Dick Ayers, captures the moment of tension with classic flair.
