New Heroic Comics #57
New Heroic Comics #57 is an anthology featuring stories of heroic individuals performing daring deeds in hazardous situations. One story chronicles Scout George Edward Spence, who is honored with a Medal of Merit for life-saving after surviving severe wounds through good care and the support of his scout troop. Another story, "Child Heroine," recounts eleven-year-old Ellen Peterson of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, who awakens her family during a house fire, risking her own safety to warn her parents and younger brother to escape, though the narrative suggests the event had a tragic outcome. A third story depicts a group of men driving through a mountain pass who encounter a landslide blocking their vehicle and must navigate dangerous terrain to escape the hazard.
