Contains three stories by Bob Webb, an Iger Shop regular who is said to have mentored a young Al Feldstein. Webb's pleasantly bland Kamenesque renderings represent the ideal Iger Studio house style, and the artist is a prominent suspect in the quest to identify the mysterious Superior artist whose work is variously described as "Kamenesque" or "Bakeresque" by fans.
