Catholic Comics #9
Catholic Comics #9 is an anthology issue containing multiple stories. One story depicts a florist and a detective planning to catch a burglar, with patrols set up on Center Street and at a hardware store, culminating in a signal to reserves. Another story, "Warrior of Words," chronicles Augustus, Cardinal Hlond of Poland, a Catholic who battled for his country's freedom—raised by Salesian Fathers, he mastered seven languages, traveled as a teacher and writer across Europe, and organized resistance to Nazi occupation during World War I, earning recognition for his efforts to preserve Polish freedom and church independence. A third story is a humorous comic strip featuring cartoon characters discovering a buried treasure chest.
