"The Secret of Adam Sprague" kicks off in Airboy Comics #1 (1953), a striking early entry from Hillman that introduces a tale of ancient legacy and modern peril. Written and illustrated by Ernest Schroeder—handling both pencils and inks for both story and cover—this issue follows a descendant of the once-revered Fenn, the Watcher of the Stars, as he confronts a dangerous conspiracy in a coastal city. With the weight of history echoing through the fjords, young Fenn’s warnings fall on deaf ears, setting the stage for a crisis tied to a crumbling sea wall and a man with ambitions that could drown a community.
