New Comics # 9, October, 1936

 By issue 9 here, we've settled into a routine with some good art, some bad art, some not particularly distinguished features and a few that are head and shoulders above the rest. That word "adventure" has been on the cover for several issues now and was getting closer and closer to becoming much more prominent.

FEDERAL MEN continues as the obvious standout in overall story and art with Siegel and Shuster getting more and more creative with each issue. This issue we move solidly into science-fiction territory with invisible empires and giant robots with death ray eyes. SUPERMAN was getting closer.

Interesting to note that DALE DARING, ever the mystery girl, is missing all together. Not much else worth noting about this issue.
