Both VF and gardibolt noted the use of the VERY tired ruse to lure our heroes into a trap. What dorks, they really need adult supervision. It's funny, originally it is only Johnny who complains about Reed being the leader, but then Reed lumps Ben into the same not-quite-adult category as well! Whatevah.

Art (Ayers and Reinman) has its usual weaknesses (like those very ugly faces), but they show these flashes of greatness. Look at the panel below, really dynamic. It is a pity that guys like Ayers had to draw so much superheroes in the 60s, while their real talents were elsewhere...



Then there's this great pin-up, Kirby and Stone (mebbe?). Was it used somewhere else?
