☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two main stories. The first, "The Black Market," follows Brenda Starr as she pursues a criminal black market operation; when a cop is shot and a woman named Netta becomes involved with criminals, Brenda works to expose the gang and secure evidence for the city editor. The second story chronicles the history of photographer Jimmy Hare, detailing his career from photographing horses at races through his work documenting major historical events including the sinking of the Maine and various conflicts, ultimately leading him to emigrate to America where his photographic innovations prove superior to existing technology. The issue closes with a scene of Brenda at a country club where she is mistaken for someone named Margie, leading to romantic complications and confusion with a man named Peter.
Brenda Starr races to uncover the truth behind a string of hospital ambulance wrecks—and a black market penicillin theft ring—before an innocent interne takes the fall. With three suspicious crashes, stolen medicine, and a young nurse's heart on the line, Brenda must piece together a puzzle that points to someone close to the accused in this 1949 mystery.
When a desperate small-time crook walks into the newspaper office with an offer to advertise his own suicide, Brenda Starr smells a story—but what she uncovers is far more dangerous than she bargained for. As she and Snapper tail their mysterious subject, a mob tries to silence him before he can reach the bridge, forcing Brenda to unravel the truth behind his bizarre publicity stunt before it's too late.
Jimmie Hare, one of America's first great news photographers, takes on a dangerous assignment in 1898 Cuba: deliver word to General Gomez that America has declared war on Spain, and capture the historic moment on film. Racing through jungle and Spanish patrols with reporter Sylvester Scovel, Hare risks everything to get both the message through and the pictures home—but getting out of Cuba alive proves to be the real test of his skill and nerve.
