Cover by Pete Morisi. Stories and art by Pete Morisi, Bill Discount and Don Heck. Men's adventure comics that served as a platform to launch one-eyed private eye Johnny Dynamite. A blonde murdered before Johnny's eyes sends him on the trail of the mob, in a story with some particularly classic hard-boiled narration. Former street racer Jim becomes a pro racecar driver, but tough guy Trask challenges him on the track. Rookie reporter Tom sets out to learn how veteran Barney gets such reliable info on mob action. Featuring art by future Marvel legend Don Heck. The cover blurb describes the violent action as "Adult Reading," a rare distinction at the time. Final issue from Comic Media; numbering continues with Johnny Dynamite (1955 Toby) #10. Death Be My Judge; The Perfect Kill; Hell Driver; Final Scoop. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
