☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two stories. "The Pull Down from the Rear" follows Judo Joe as he encounters criminals and must evade police, with the story interrupted by instructional judo sequences demonstrating the titular technique. A second story involves a psychiatrist who uses hypnosis on a patient named Mr. Jones to put him into a deep sleep and control his mind, instructing him to obey suggestions; when Jones awakens and is dismissed, the psychiatrist and another man eagerly pursue him, revealing a sinister plot underway. Throughout, the comic includes detailed judo instruction panels showing proper form and technique.
When Judo Joe volunteers for what seems like easy money from a mysterious foreign operation, he discovers a sinister plot: a Russian scientist is conducting deadly experiments with a radioactive serum that kills its victims in two weeks. With armed handlers shadowing the test subjects and ready to eliminate anyone who talks, Joe must find a way to expose the conspiracy and save the other doomed men before time runs out. Written by Dr. Barney Cosneck with art by Paul W. Stoddard, this 1958 thriller pits Joe's wits and fighting skills against a ruthless Cold War enemy.
When a burglar breaks into her home late at night, Judy discovers that the martial arts training she's learned proves far more effective than the intruder expected. With quick thinking and well-placed judo moves, she turns the tables on the would-be criminal—though not before some rough-and-tumble action shakes up the household. Written by Dr. Barney Cosneck with art by Paul W. Stoddard, "The Burglar" shows why underestimating this resourceful young woman would be a serious mistake.
Judo Joe springs into action when Chief O'Reilly calls with a baffling case: a wealthy man dies of a heart attack, leaving his entire fortune to his psychiatrist—a man with a perfect alibi, out of town when the death occurred. With the help of Dr. Hanson, a retiring physician with his own heart condition, Joe devises a dangerous trap to catch the renegade psychiatrist in the act of using hypnosis for murder. Written by Dr. Barney Cosneck with art by Paul W. Stoddard, "The Hypnotist" combines martial arts action with a clever crime-fighting scheme as Joe works to expose how the psychiatrist uses the power of suggestion to commit the perfect crime.
