New Comics #5

This June 1936 issue of New Comics arrives with one of the most charming covers of the era — a cheerful, rosy-cheeked boy plucking flower petals with hearts floating around him, blissfully unaware that a very grumpy, horned bull is glowering at him from behind the very same flower patch. Whitney Ellsworth's cover art balances humor and warmth beautifully, making the looming confrontation feel more delightful than dangerous. Inside, Sven Elven contributes to the anthology's promise of "Mystery! Thrills! Adventure!" with Part 4 of "The Train Robbery," keeping readers well-stocked with all-original stories at just ten cents.
