☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeMovie Comics #1 is an anthology issue featuring adaptations of Hollywood films and stories. The main feature is a preview of "Big Town," described as "The Movie Magic of Radio's Top Thriller" starring Philip Reed and Hillary Brooke. Additional content includes a comedic adaptation involving classic film tropes and slapstick humor among actors on a movie set, a story about child actress Peggy Ann's difficult struggle to find roles in Hollywood despite initial promise (appearing in films like "Junior Miss," "In Name Only," and "Blondie Brings Up Baby"), and a humorous comic strip titled "Garret McBard" by Michael about a Hollywood character involved in contract negotiations and studio dealings.
When managing editor Steve Wilson arrives in Big Town to take over the Illustrated Press, he finds a sleepy newspaper no match for its rival, the Chronicle—until a shootout at a theatre robbery gives him his first big break. As Wilson and his team chase down leads about the mysterious "pistol-packin' mama," they uncover a darker case: a murdered heiress and a suspect named Vance Crane whose connection to the crime may be far more sinister than it appears. With the Illustrated Press and Chronicle locked in fierce competition, Wilson races to uncover the truth before the real killer strikes again.
