FLASH-CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE MARVEL'S SEX-SCIENCE POLICY Washington, D.C. (PP): In a special closed session tonight, the House passed a fifty thousand dollar investigation bill over a threatened veto into MARVEL SCIENCE STORIES to investigate some of the amazing conditions existing on their pages! "I am greatly shocked by this astounding thing!" declared the Hon. Q. U. Hindbottom, chairman of the investigating squad. "Just recently I paid good money for a copy of the magazine in question, intending to spend a quiet day at my desk on the floor of the House reading. Imagine my intense embarrassment when upon looking at the cover, I beheld an almost nude girl thereon! Hastily choosing a story at random, I thumbed thru the tale and found naked ladies cavorting all thru the pages. A strip tease occurs in almost every chapter! I was so shocked I dropped the book; I never did recover it again for several other of the members near me made a rush for it. It is time for something drastic!" Since MARVEL'S birth early in the summer of 1938, it has included in its pages science stories with no little tinge of sex; much to the profound distractment (and secret enjoyment) of thousands of readers. To no avail have scores of fans sent protesting letters, in vain have four committees called upon the editors; the vulgar practice is still practiced! Old-timers recall with shudders the first issue, dated August, 1938, wherein among two other or thr ee tales with a variable sex interest, there, appeared a story by James Hall, entitled DICTATOR OF THE AMERICAS. In this little gem, the lovely heroine strips NEKKID and allegedly offers the hairy-chested hero her all! "Such a situation is preposterous!" exploded the Hon. Hindbottom. "Why, these two people were never properly introduced!" Meanwhile, additional press dispatches from our Washington bureau are to the effect that if it should become necessary, another fifty thousand dollars will be alloted, as the first fifty thousand did not purchase enough copies for the committee and their friends and relatives. WALL ST. informs us that MARVEL's stock gas shot up $10 per share! ____________________________________ For further details, consult your POLICE GAZETTE! ____________________________________ *****************************************
