“Merton Gloop and His Magic Horseshoe!”

In "Merton Gloop and His Magic Horseshoe!", Professor Carter’s latest invention—a horseshoe that repels anything—takes an unexpected turn when Merton Gloop steals it, convinced he’s now invulnerable. Written by Dorothy Woolfolk and brought to life with playful energy by Al Plastino on both art and inks, this 1950 classic blends sci-fi whimsy with a touch of slapstick, all captured in a vibrant cover by Al Plastino.
