Number 2570: Alan Ladd gets mad because he's been had!

Hollywood star Alan Ladd makes a movie, and is up against a tricky young woman with an identical twin. Unbeknownst to Alan the twin is doing the acting, and Ladd is duped. How many times have we seen similar plots in movies, television, and books? Personally I’d think it could have been pretty good for Alan...two beautiful women...but the plot is fairly standard. The artwork is good, because artist Ruben Moreira was a good artist.

From Adventures of Alan Ladd #3 (1950):

Uhm… okay.

I've been mildly curious about The Adventures of Alan Ladd after seeing it listed, many years ago, in The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide; and now, thanks to you, I get to see one of those adventures.

It doesn't seem to me that a typical kid at the magazine racks would have been drawn to material of this sort; I guess that it speaks to Ladd's great popularity that the series could last for even nine issues. But it might have fared better had its run begun three or four years later, shortly before or after the release of Shane (filmed in '51 but not released until '53).

This story proves once again that there's no such thing as bad publicity.
