This anthology issue features "The Fighting Yank" as the lead story, in which the patriotic super-hero battles German agents at Dr. Blitz's shore estate, foiling a plot involving a time bomb placed on a military convoy. The issue also includes "Tear Gas," a crime story by William McClellan about a young boy named Jerry Graham who mistakes a burglar for an intruder and uses his toy water pistol filled with soapy water to stop the hold-up man, eventually leading to the criminal's capture by Officer Clancy.

When British intelligence summons Don Davis to meet an important liaison arriving by ship, a violent ambush on the dock sets off alarm bells that something isn't adding up. Davis's detective work uncovers a Nazi masquerade—the man claiming to be Major Bradley is actually an imposter, with Von Krug and his agents plotting to infiltrate a critical conference on second-front strategy. It's a race against time to expose the deception before the Nazis can strike at the heart of the Allied war effort.

Pop--it says here that honesty is the best policy
3 pp

When a young boy and his father set out to return a stranger's ruined hat, they learn that doing the right thing doesn't always pay off the way you'd expect—and that honesty sometimes comes with complications. This lighthearted tale explores what happens when good intentions collide with bad luck and worse circumstances in this 1944 story from *Startling Comics*.
