Federal Men in New Adventure Comics #13, January 1937

The Federal Men start the new year (January 1937) by taking a bite out of drugs, or something like that.  Steve Carson takes on a “dope” ring and is captured and threatened with becoming an addict.  Of course he escapes and arrests the ring leader.

New Adventure Comics #13 also features a 12-page story “Foe of the Borgias”, which might be the first twelve page story in comic book history.
