    Stories and art by Otto Binder, Jack Binder, Pierce Rice, James Wilcox, and Ken Battefield. A Fawcett anthology with an emphasis on superhero adventure. Mr. Scarlet, nicknamed "the Crimson Knight," meets three more of his greatest foes, including: The Black Thorn, whose "mummy ray" turns people into mummified corpses; The Black Clown and his army of circus performers gone wrong; and jewel thief the Laughing Skull, who forces his victims to read their own gravestones. All three were future members of the "Death Battalion" (as well as Jon Morris's 2013 book The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains). Atomic-powered superkid Atom Blake finally finds his long-lost father, in the clutches of the robotic Black Monster. Two-fisted American soldier of fortune Rick O'Shay learns the Nazis have a cannon as big as the legendary Big Bertha.
