Synopsis

Trask is sent to Tokyo as a decoy with an ordinary Aspirin box to fool the communists, and sends the real message through with another agent.

Notes

Long, narrow heads, long upper torso, and also the form of the females are all signs of Zolnerowich. Compare his signed covers of Real Clue Crime Stories Comics #83, 84, 61, and "Terry Thunder" in Jungle Comics #108, 109. The inking is very uncertain.
