In "Just an Ordinary Guy!", a heartfelt 1947 tale from Bill Finger and George Roussos, a dying prospector named Tote Todd gets one last chance to relive his youth in a recreated gold-rush town. With help from old friends like Greg Sanders and a mysterious vigilante, Tote’s dream takes a dangerous turn when real outlaws show up, turning the re-enactment into a fight for survival. The cover by Wayne Boring and Al Plastino captures the wild west spirit of the story, a classic DC adventure from a time when heroes wore masks and every town had a secret.
