Contains 4 stories
Copy By Cupid
9 pp · adventure; romance

When reporter Brenda Starr agrees to help Hollywood agent Tips Thompson orchestrate a publicity stunt—pairing movie idol Rex Riley with an ordinary working stenographer named Elsa Lane to prove that glamour isn't everything—nobody expects the scheme to backfire into genuine romance. As reporters circle and the mystery woman's identity becomes the hottest story in town, Brenda discovers that real love has a way of upstaging even the best-laid plans. "Copy By Cupid" proves that sometimes Cupid writes better copy than any Hollywood agent ever could.

Revenge
8 pp · adventure; romance

When a story Brenda Starr wrote years ago about a young debutante's wild escapades resurfaces after the girl inherits a newspaper empire, the reporter finds herself caught in a dangerous web of revenge. Dede Powers, now wealthy and bitter over Brenda's unflattering past coverage, uses her new control of a rival paper to orchestrate a campaign of intimidation and violence in the city. As Brenda fights back with exposés of her own, she discovers just how far Dede and her ruthless new editor will go to silence her.

Torpedoed!
7 pp · history; war
Frank Gibbons

Reporter Floyd Gibbons volunteers to cover potential war in Europe and boards the British ship Laconia bound for England—deliberately choosing a vessel vulnerable to German U-boats to secure the story of a lifetime. When a German submarine torpedoes the ship in the North Atlantic on February 25, 1917, Gibbons finds himself in the chaos of evacuation, surrounded by passengers fighting for survival in icy lifeboats. As rescue efforts unfold across the treacherous night, Gibbons does what any good reporter would do: document every detail of the unfolding human drama.

And the Waltz Came Tumbling Down
5 pp · adventure; romance

Pesky Miller seeks advice from Brenda Starr about winning over a girl who loves dancing—but there's a problem: his feet are all wrong for the dance floor. After landing a free lesson at the Acme Dance Salon, Pesky learns the rumba from an exacting instructor, and before long, he's ready to prove himself on a real date. When the orchestra plays an unexpected waltz instead of the Latin rhythms he practiced, Pesky finds himself adapting in the most surprising way—and discovers that sometimes the best moves are the ones nobody planned for.
