When a gang steals a tree to burrow beneath it, The Vigilante and his partner Stuff race to stop them—only to find the stolen chemical unleashing monstrous, rapidly growing vegetation in their wake. Written by Joe Samachson and illustrated by Mort Meskin, with a cover by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye, this 1945 Action Comics tale blends suburban mystery with explosive, overgrown chaos.
In "Tree's a Crowd!", a quiet suburb’s sudden rows of trees hide a dangerous secret—beneath the surface, a gang digs toward a factory churning out a plant-growing substance worth more than platinum. When The Vigilante and his ally Stuff uncover the scheme, they arrive just as the crooks flee, leaving behind a trail of rapidly expanding vegetation fueled by the stolen chemical.
In "Day of Wishes!" from Action Comics #84 (1945), Zatara aids his friend Jerry when a fur theft threatens to ruin him, but when Jerry hesitates to accept the magic’s gift, he suggests that small wishes could be shared with others. Zatara warns that even minor desires can have unexpected consequences—like a man who wishes to be as calm as a vow becoming one, or a man who laments his poor memory turning into a living book.
