In "The Ghost of Billy the Kid! [Part I]," the legendary outlaw returns in a mystery that pits the Justice Society against a cunning gang led by a man claiming to be Billy the Kid, all over a rumored gold mine in Civic City. Written by John Broome and illustrated by Irwin Hasen with inks by Bob Oksner, this 1949 adventure kicks off with a high-stakes chase, a trap set by the Atom and Green Lantern, and a twist that sends the JSA racing to the ghost town of Silver Butte—where the real danger may be far more spectral than they imagined. Cover by Irwin Hasen and Bob Oksner.
