Gwandanaland Comics #1572

Gwandanaland Comics #1572 brings together complete issues #9–12 of the golden age Pep Comics run in one handsome collection. The reproduced cover of Pep Comics #12 sets the tone beautifully, showing the patriotically costumed Shield and young Dusty the Boy Detective locked in a fierce brawl against a hulking clay-like figure, with a dark-haired woman caught in the chaos nearby. It's a wonderful way to experience these Action-Detective-Adventure stories from early comics history, all gathered in a single 2017 volume.
