True Comics #61 is an anthology featuring ten stories based on real events and people. The primary story, "They Came Out Alive!," recounts the rescue of an RAF aircraft that crashed in the Swiss Alps, detailing the efforts of Swiss alpine climbers and military personnel to reach and save the survivors on a glacier. The issue also includes "Cities of Destiny," which chronicles the founding of New York City, beginning with Henry Hudson's 1609 exploration of the Hudson River and the subsequent 1626 settlement by Dutch traders led by Peter Minuit who purchased the island from Native Americans. The remainder of the issue contains humor features and reader-submitted jokes and anecdotes.
