In "The Super-Telethon," The Vigilante and his partner Stuff stumble into a town's festive celebration, only to find themselves enforcing long-forgotten laws with surprising seriousness. As The Vigilante cracks down on minor infractions—from whistling after dark to armed mail carriers—Stuff begins to uncover a hidden reason behind the town's unusual arrests. With art by Bob Brown and a cover by Win Mortimer, this 1953 issue blends quirky justice with a quiet undercurrent of tension, all set against the backdrop of a lively, if oddly regulated, community fair.
