In "The Gasmen and... the Spectre," Lt. Corrigan dives into a chilling mystery at a local car show, where victims have succumbed to a deadly gas reminiscent of World War I tactics—unaware that this is just the beginning of a terrifying demonstration known as "Operation Green Cloud." Written by Michael Fleisher and Russell Carley and brought to life with sharp, atmospheric art by Jim Aparo, this 1974 issue blends Cold War-era suspense with the eerie presence of the Spectre, all wrapped in Aparo’s striking cover.

In "The Gasmen and... the Spectre," Lt. Corrigan digs into a string of mysterious deaths at a car show, where victims succumbed to a gas eerily reminiscent of World War I tactics—unaware that a deadly demonstration, "Operation Green Cloud," is underway. The city’s fate hangs in the balance as a shadowy force demands a billion dollars or faces escalating violence, leaving Corrigan to confront a threat that’s as much political as it is perilous.
