This page introduces this issue, but more importantly, it introduces the "New Comics" comic book magazine. This magazine will be retitled "New Adventure Comics" after 11 issues, and not long after that will be retitled "Adventure Comics."
This is the first issue of the second comic book series (or magazine) launched by Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson's National Allied Publications (the company that would become DC Comics).
This page features an editorial piece surrounded by 16 miscellaneous panels of comic art. The introduction is signed "The Editors."
Salute!

Here's something you have always wanted -- eighty pages packed and jammed with new comic features, written and drawn especially for New Comics -- never printed before anywhere. Here is a magazine of picturized stories chock full of laughter and thrills, comic characters of every hue, knights and Vikings of ancient days, adventuring heroes, detectives, aviator daredevils of today and hero supermen of the days to come!

Also, we'll guarantee that, no matter how wise you are, there are heaps of things you will learn about this wide world and its people and their histories every time you read through a copy of New Comics Magazine.
So climb aboard and ride with us every month through Eighty Pages of wit and humor, drama and thrills. Laughter is the universal antidote for blues. Be a New Comics booster.
