Blue Circle is actually Len Stafford, a criminal mastermind who has seen the error of his ways, and now pretends to be a semiretired crook while secretly battling the criminal underworld he was once part of. He is aided by the Blue Circle Council, a group of former criminals. He first appeared in Blue Circle Comics #1 (June 1944) and lasted for only five issues in that comic, ending in March 1945. He then made one appearance in Roly Poly Comic Book #1, December 1945. Blue Circle could at best be considered a failed comic book hero. a fact amplified by his fate more than five decades later -- he had remained dormant until 2001 when he was resurrected along with other comic book heroes who had fallen into the public domain for a story in issue #1 of Blowjob, a comic book dedicated tot he art of fellatio -- it is safe to say that this appearance was not considered part of the canon. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Then, Gail Porter, Girl Photographer, is assigned to interview Toots Sweeney, a gun moll accused of shooting two of her boyfriends, and learns that a female can be ore dangerous than a male.

A run of the mill magazine, sadly. Still, perhaps worth a look.

Oddly enough, the 2001 issue of Blown Circle (sic) was available on newsstands with the Comics Code Authority seal of approval. It was the Reagan Years, and Making Money/Greed was Better Than Ever.
