☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAmerica's Best Comics #20 is an anthology featuring multiple superhero stories. "The Fighting Yank" battles Japanese forces during World War II, ultimately destroying a Nipponese sledgehammer weapon that threatens Allied hopes. Other stories in the issue feature Doc Strange, who investigates a mysterious ghost gang's third robbery and an attempted heist at Duchamps, while the protagonist becomes entangled with criminals and a stolen diamond.
In "Dr. Turner's Experiment," the Black Terror and Tim Roland race against time to stop an escaped convict, Larkin, from detonating a nuclear bomb in the city unless he’s paid a million dollars. With the stakes higher than ever, the duo must outthink a desperate man and unravel the mystery behind a dangerous experiment tied to Doctor Turner and a mysterious young woman, Jean Starr.
A young girl tries to put her doll to bed in this humorous domestic snapshot by Al Hartley, where the joke lands in the innocent logic of childhood—and the wonderfully ordinary chaos of family life in 1946.
When Pyroman's civilian identity Dick Martin helps appraise a synthetic diamond created by Professor Chilton's revolutionary Maxogenerator, the news attracts the attention of two master criminals: the ruthless Chimp Matson and the mysterious villain known as The Unseen. As the crooks scheme to steal the powerful machine for their own sinister purposes—one for wealth, one for world-destroying vengeance—Pyroman must race against time to stop them before they can weaponize its incredible power. The stakes escalate when those closest to Dick, including Joyce Clark, find themselves caught in the crossfire of this escalating battle.
When crooks on the run from the law stumble upon Professor Bradley's hidden laboratory, they discover his experimental spectro-disperser—a device that renders them invisible to the naked eye, transforming them into the feared "Ghost Gang." Doc Strange must match his unmatched strength against criminals who can commit robbery and murder while existing as phantoms, all while the gang holds his allies Mike Ellis and Virginia Thompson hostage. Racing against time and relying on scientific deduction, Doc Strange zeroes in on the truth behind the ghostly terror.
