In "The Ghost Drum!", the Vigilante faces off against his old foe, The Fiddler, who's turned his musical talents to crime by orchestrating a heist during a high-stakes concert. With the stakes raised and a $10,000 payoff on the line, the Fiddler's plan hinges on a hidden signal—but just as he's about to strike, Greg Saunders and Stuff arrive backstage, setting the stage for another clash. Mort Meskin's dynamic art brings the tension to life, while Jack Burnley and Stan Kaye deliver a striking cover that captures the moment just before the curtain falls.
