Manic Monday Bonus--A Series Ahead Of It's Time?

You might think that a comic with this particular title might run short of story ideas before too long...

...and you'd be right.

1952's Prison Riot only lasted one issue. Which is probably for the best, because really, how many prison riot stories can you do? Your title is kind of limiting you an awful lot here...

In fact, only 3 of its 4 stories in this issue were about prison riots (or even prison).

Then again, in the 21st century, comic companies could wring multiple mini-series out of prison riots or asylums breakouts. So maybe Avon Periodicals just gave up too early...

Ummm...that's all I got here.
