In "If Iceman Should Fail--! Part 2," Tom’s decision to share his father’s cigarettes sets off a tense confrontation when bully Brown tries to steal them by force. With Jim stepping in to defend him, the clash ends in a surprising victory for Jim, who then uses the moment to caution the boys against smoking. The issue delivers a straightforward, impactful message with a public service announcement reminding readers that "Cigarettes Harm Your Health," all illustrated with crisp, expressive art by Tom Kerr. The cover, a striking collaboration by Werner Roth, Jack Kirby, and Sol Brodsky, captures the story’s intensity in bold, dynamic lines.
