The Vanishing Wreck…
Seth Rowan was a small-time fisherman out of Falmouth, Massachusetts. He wasn’t a wealthy man with a commercial ship, but he earned an honest living. One evening he rowed his fishing dory out to Buzzards Bay to bring in a load, but what came to him was more than cod fish.
On a sandbar four miles out from Falmouth, Seth caught sight of a woman beckoning for help. How had she gotten there? In high tide that bar is completely underwater. Seth began to row towards the woman. Her pale skin almost glowed under the full light of the moon.
Why doesn’t the Falmouth coastguard office have any records of an antiques sloop sinking in the area? Can the mystery woman survive on a sandbar which disappears with the tide? Are women really bad luck to sailing vessels?
The Devil’s Contract (text only story)
Can the devil make a deal with a human in the modernized world of machinery and the Better Business Bureau? Mephistopheles is about to find out if humanity is as dumb and gullible as their dark ages ancestors. Maybe the prince of darkness should hire a good real-estate lawyer!

Madeleine was a wonderful assistant but the stress of caring for an elderly woman has put a toll on her health. Per the old woman’s request, Doctor Duval has prescribed a sleeping tonic.
Why would a dying old woman demand that her assistant sleep as much as possible? Can Docteur Duval maintain a romantic and working relationship with Madeleine Beauvois? Does the old woman look younger in the light of day? Collect the series to find out!
Reviewer Notes
This issue is all about the Roofies. RohypNOOOL, son…yeah, yeah! Okay ladies, if an old woman insists you have tea with her in a creepy outdated bedroom, there is a slight chance you’re gonna get dosed. Just saying.
Charlton Comics introduced a new artist this month by the name of Fred Himes, Tom Sutton used the signature TFS (for some reason), and we are back to two illustrated stories and one text piece. I’m really impressed with the layouts and the penciling in this issue. Fred and Tom really know what guys want to see…even if the target demo is the ladies. Who am I to judge? Oh right, to my review. I’m giving this issue four out of five stars.
Now, watch them drinks!
