Police Comics #43

Candy O'Connor is head-over-heels for movie star Ronald Rogue, and when she learns he's coming to town, she brags to her rival Cornelia that he'll send her a personally autographed photograph—then makes a bet she can't back up. What starts as a scheme to get that photo turns into a comic series of mix-ups involving a movie theater, a dinner invitation, and a very timely phone call that changes everything.

Burp the Twerp gets a lucrative offer to endorse a new soda pop—but the drink comes with a deadly surprise courtesy of a bank robber trying to eliminate a witness. When the criminal's sabotaged beverage fails to do him in, Burp's natural constitution becomes an unexpected asset in taking down the crook before he can strike his target.

When Patrolman Dan Richards stumbles upon the body of a tramp shot down near a mysterious "Tramp Club," he suspects there's more to the case than meets the eye—and his alter ego Manhunter is determined to uncover it. What Richards uncovers is a bizarre criminal conspiracy involving a wealthy banker leading a gang of derelicts, a flooded river tunnel, and a scheme far more elaborate than a simple murder. As Manhunter closes in on the truth, he'll have to rely on his wits and his faithful dog Thor to survive the Tramp Club's deadly vote.
