“Anti-Atomic Metal”

In "Anti-Atomic Metal," a 1946 Sensation Comics classic, J. Seymour Elwood's yacht becomes a stage for quiet tension and unexpected crime as his son Junior, adrift in boredom and isolation, begins a string of petty thefts. With the help of his secret identity as Mr. Terrific, Terry investigates the mystery—only to be ambushed by a masked stranger who steals the loot and leaves him unconscious. The cover by Harry Peter captures the intrigue, while Stan Asch's art brings the uneasy atmosphere of the party aboard the yacht to life.
