Cover by Charles Biro. Stories and art by Charles Biro, Norman Maurer, and Frank Frazetta. This boys' adventure title was one of the comics that made publisher Lev Gleason a major player during the Golden Age. Scarecrow accidentally helps a convict escape and is hunted by police as an accomplice. Dilly Duncan gets a chance to save the day when the school football team is getting beaten, but no one believes he can do it. A classic anti-drug PSA featuring early art by fantasy and comics legend Frank Frazetta. This issue has perhaps one of the most unusual non-MAD covers of the '50s, with no art whatsoever, just a note referring the reader to the "Scramblehead" puzzle game and mail-in contest inside. Little Wise Guys: The Human Bullet; Dilly Duncan of Dorset High: Anything for Kicks; Little Wise Guys: Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Spook; Crimebuster: The Crime That Snowballed; We Can Stop the Enemies of Youth. 32 pages, Full Color.
