☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn anthology featuring three adventures: Vic Verity, a high school baseball ace, plays in a championship game where he makes a crucial hit; Boomer Young, a frontier adventurer, smashes a gang of Mississippi River pirates by dousing their fort with cold water and using a cannon to destroy their vessel; and Tom Travis escapes from crafty Red Ivak's most cunning trap after a dangerous confrontation involving Greg's weapon, which terrifies Red Ivak and his men into the forest where they plot their next move, though they ultimately suffer losses and fail to capture Tom.
When the boastful bully Boastful Bosco confronts a kid brave enough to challenge his tough-guy reputation, things don't go quite the way either of them expects. This quick-witted humor story from 1946's Vic Verity Magazine turns Bosco's own swagger against him in a satisfying twist that proves sometimes the sharpest weapon is a clever comeback.
Boomer Young, a sharp-tongued riverboat representative, makes an audacious bet with St. Paul farmers—promising them plows by Tuesday or their money back plus a hundred dollars in gold—but his rivals Slowne and Peavy have a ruthless plan to stop the shipment from arriving. When river pirates and their business allies move to intercept the cargo aboard the Pride of Keokuk, Boomer finds himself in the middle of a dangerous gambit where his word and a town's agricultural future hang in the balance.
