Description: Captured spy brought before Japanese army officer.
Comment: As Baumhofer made the transition from pulp covers to the slicks (and not-so-slick in the case of This Week) he had to adjust his method of story-telling. His ability to convey the gist of a story relied more and more the use of facial expression and small details and less through pulse-quickening action.
