“The Gasmen and... the Spectre”

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.
