☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Power of the Primitive!", the Black Pirate and his son Justin find themselves swept into space when a mysterious ship lifts their galleon from a calm sea and transports them to the planet of the Krolls. There, they inspire a once-subjugated people to stand up against the giant, ruthless Hill People—not through force alone, but by showing them the strength of unity, fairness, and democracy. Paul Reinman’s dynamic artwork brings the adventure to life, while Sheldon Mayer’s cover captures the wild, otherworldly tone of the tale. A 10-cent comic from 1947, this issue blends swashbuckling spirit with early science fiction in a story that’s as bold as it is imaginative.
When a college football star is inexplicably transformed into a stone-age figure, the Emerald Crusader races to uncover the mystery behind the bizarre metamorphosis—before a deadly crime strikes in the shadows of the modern world.
In "Bad Blood between Brothers!" from All-American Comics #83 (1947), two long-rivaling brothers are brought together by their father’s desperate plea for help, leading to a tense weekend at a remote cabin. When each boy tries to outwit the other—only to find themselves caught in a real danger—Dr. Mid-Nite steps in to turn their rivalry into something greater.
In "The Kroll People," the Black Pirate and his son Justin find themselves whisked from a still sea to the alien world of the Krolls, where they must inspire a people long oppressed by the giant Hill People. Through lessons in unity and justice, they help the Krolls stand up to their invaders—before the galleon is sent back home.
