“The Talent Scouts”

In "The Talent Scouts," Jack Cole delivers a sharp, witty tale as Midnight steps in to shield Dave’s prized radio singer from her deceitful agent, Percentage Graftly. When Graftly tries to sabotage Dave’s first TV show by sending a hillbilly hag to disrupt it, chaos ensues—her suitors turn the broadcast into a sensation, turning the tables in a way no one saw coming. With Jack Cole handling every brushstroke and ink line, this 1949 issue blends humor and suspense in a story that’s as clever as it is classic.
