Boy Comics #48
This anthology issue contains two complete stories. In the first story, C.B. and Crimebuster investigate the theft of investors' money, uncovering that Joe Cleary's brother confessed to systematic theft and gambling debts, but the boys discover the real culprit is someone else entirely and help prove Joe's innocence at trial. The second story follows a fishing expedition where characters encounter mysterious circumstances at Gradin Lodge, with suspicions growing about something sinister happening at the location. Additionally, the issue includes "Famous Eccentrics" by Claude Moore, a feature detailing the unusual habits of historical figures such as Edward Montague (who wore wire wigs), Simeon Stylites, Nero, Leucadian, and Duke Mazarin.
