☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Cyanide Cindy," Chuck Lane’s misstep as a police escort leads to a stolen Stradivarius and a demotion to school traffic duty—until he sets out to recover the priceless instrument. With art by Pete Riss bringing the high-stakes chase to life, this 1946 Quality Comics standout blends crime and consequence in a story where one wrong turn leads to a very different kind of patrol. The cover by Al Bryant captures the tension with sharp, dynamic lines.
Midnight and his pals crash a beauty contest at Center Park—where Sniffer Snoop has inveigled his way onto the judging panel—only to discover that the mysterious late arrival Cyanide Cindy has coerced the contestants into looking their worst to ensure her own victory. When the truth unravels and a murder throws the proceedings into chaos, Midnight must uncover what really happened and who's behind the scheme.
In "The Etiquette Business," Spunky tries to impress Marge by mastering the finer points of gentlemanly conduct—only to accidentally cause trouble when his overly careful efforts lead him to trespass on Farmer Smith’s land in search of sunflowers. A lighthearted teen comedy from 1946, this seven-page story captures the awkward charm of young romance and misguided manners.
When police officer Chuck Lane misidentifies a violinist and lets a thief steal a priceless Stradivarius, his career takes a nosedive—until he’s given a second chance to reclaim the stolen instrument and clear his name.
