Hit Comics #64

This Quality Comics gem from 1950 pulls you straight into a tense riverside ambush, with a red-haired woman in knee-high boots caught between armed men lurking behind rocks and a gunman pressing against a tree — all while Jeb Rivers strides urgently toward the scene and a steamboat drifts on the water behind him. Reed Crandall's cover art crackles with dramatic tension, every figure charged with purpose and peril. Beyond the Jeb Rivers lead, the issue also promises Betty Bates (Crime-Fighting Beauty), Sir Roger (Nobleman of the Road), and Bob and Swab (Rovers of the Sea) — a genuinely varied lineup that makes this ten-cent package feel like quite the deal.
