From the Fall of 1934; bantam #26

1. What a great title!

2. Is this the first one with just Monk and Ham helping? Renny,
Johnny and Long Tom all overseas.

3. Pat has opened her big NYC beauty salon. by the chronoplogy of
BRAND OF THE WEREWOLF, she would have been 20, at best.

4. No mention of the Crime college in this one.

5. This one is really good. The action is mysterious, but not silly.
Habeus is left behind early on. An odd all New York city and nearby
at sea adventure.

6. We see DOC having to face off against another gadget guy. Ull is
a practical inventor -- not above stealing the occasional invention,
but he's got a variety of gadgets, and he's studied DOC'S. Pretty
neat.

7. One of those rare, "better than i remembered it" DOC'S -- think I
was getting it confused with the MArvel comics adaptation.

FYI -- The Hidalgo trading company and the float planes were essential
to DOC -- New york City has no airport until North Beach (La Guardia)
openes in October. 1939.
