“The Midsummer Snowstorm”

In "The Midsummer Snowstorm," Clip Carson—Hollywood's top adventure film supervisor—finds himself drawn into a mystery when a reporter named Pierre Renoire sends a look-alike assistant, Rudolf, to the set under false pretenses. After a star, Mare Temperal, is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Clip digs into the strange connection between Renoire and the man who resembles him, uncovering a web of deception that leads him to a locked door he’s not allowed to open. The story unfolds with sharp tension, grounded in the era’s noir sensibilities, and features dynamic art by Geo Papp, with a striking cover by Joe Shuster and Leo Nowak.

Clip Carson is in Hollywood, supervising the production of adventure pictures, and he's asked to do an interview for Pierre Renoire of Le Clarion d'Algiers. Clip reminds him of someone, but he's needed on the set. Renoire disguises his assistant, Rudolf, to look like him and sends him to the set, where Mare Temperal is found dead, apparently electrocuted. Clip investigates when he visits Renoire but is denied entry into his home.
