Cover by Johnny Craig. Stories by Johnny Craig and others. Art by John Severin, Johnny Craig, and Reed Crandall. One of EC Comics' late New Direction titles, a response to the new Comics Code, featuring reporters finding danger while pursuing stories. Reporter Keith Michaels finds the Foreign Legion while following a lead in Algiers, in a story combining text and comics in a precursor to EC's later "Picto-Fiction" books. Female reporter Geri Hamilton helps a convict whose family has been disgraced by his crimes, in a story with art by Reed Crandall. In Paris, Keith fends off the advances of old flame Vicki while trailing a cabinet minister's wife who's consorting with his political rival. The letters page features letters to the editor from future comics creators E. Nelson Bridwell and Dan Adkins. Another nice black-and-white painted cover by Johnny Craig. Dateline: Algiers; Steve Rampart; Geri Hamilton; Dateline: Paris; Double Cross. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
