☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Sweets for Swag!", Starman follows a mysterious celestial signal—thought to be a new star—only to uncover a clever ruse: a light bulb floating in the sky, tethered by a gas-filled balloon and secretly relaying prison escape plans to Puggy Randall’s old associates. Written by Joe Samachson and illustrated with crisp, energetic flair by Emil Gershwin, this 1945 Adventure Comics tale blends sci-fi whimsy with a grounded crime twist. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Jack Kirby and Gil Kane, captures the moment of revelation with bold, expressive lines.
When Sweet Tooth and his gang pull off a daring heist, they stash the stolen diamonds inside candy shipments headed for the Devereaux residence—leading the Police and Sandman on a sticky chase through sweet-smelling traps and hidden treats.
In "Life and Death of a Star!", Starman investigates a mysterious new star in the sky, only to uncover a clever ruse: a light bulb floating above the city, tethered by a gas-filled balloon and secretly relaying messages to inmates at a state prison. The discovery sets off a high-stakes game of wits between the hero and a network of old friends planning a prison break.
