Matt Baker art; jungle covers begin (4/47)
Atlantic City CopyCover by Joe Doolin. Edited by Jack Byrne and Jerry Iger. Stories and art by Alex Blum, Lily Renee, Robert Webb, and Matt Baker. A combat-themed anthology from Fiction House that featured early work from many future comics legends (often uncredited) in the Eisner-Iger Shop. Slavers target the native population, but not if Tiger Girl has anything to say about it; Good-girl art aplenty as Senorita Rio tracks a mad scientist experimenting on natives in the Amazon jungle; Meg and Black Hart conspire to swindle Captain Fight's ship away from him. The first of many covers featuring Tiger Girl in action. Tiger Girl; Risks, Unlimited starring Rip Carson; Kayo Kirby; Puzzle For a Murderer; Hateful Herman; Hooks Devlin; Senorita Rio; Captain Fight.

Any book with a Baker cover has become a hot collectible in recent years,
