☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Glory Alley," the main story, follows a former boxing champion named Socks who has retired from the fight racket. When a judge and bookmaker named Sal Nichols (The Pig) attempts to coerce Socks back into fighting by threatening violence against his friend Angie, Socks is arrested and imprisoned for three weeks. Upon his release, Socks struggles as a down-on-his-luck laborer until he is offered one final chance at redemption through an unspecified opportunity. The issue also includes brief celebrity features about Pier Angeli's path to stardom through a coach's phone call and Janet Leigh's discovery via a family photograph.
A hotshot boxer named Socks Barbarrosa seems poised for his big break—a title shot if he can beat Terry Waulker in the ring—but when the moment arrives, panic seizes him and he abandons the fight mid-match. Now Socks must navigate the fallout with the crowd, the fight game, and Angela Evans, the Judge's daughter who loves him, as he grapples with what's driven him to walk away from the only life he's ever known on Glory Alley.
