☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis January 1937 issue of New Adventure Comics rings in the new year with a charming cover by Whitney Ellsworth, depicting the classic passing-of-the-torch between Father Time — a bent old man in red robes carrying a scythe and hourglass — and a cheerful baby New Year wearing a top hat and a sash emblazoned with "1937." Inside, Jerome Siegel and Joe Shuster continue their serialized "The Train Robbery" with Part 11, offering readers another chapter of action-packed storytelling for just ten cents. A delightful snapshot of early DC Comics at the dawn of a landmark year.

Professor Grant gives the Federal Men a forecast of the future of crime detection in the format of an imaginary story. In the year 3000 AD, when there is a disturbance at the Mountains of Mars, Jor-L, ace sleuth of the service, uses his one man space flyer to track it down. There he meets Nira-Q, the bandit queen. She captures him to use as a hostage when she tries to seize a space ship with a priceless radium cargo. Later, when captured, she and her Martian gang undergo brain operations, emerging "sane, normal beings with no desire for crime."
