A wartime tragedy births a vengeful force in Authentic Police Cases #2 (1948), where Lady Satan—born from the ashes of a Nazi-attacked ship and the loss of her fiancé—takes her first step toward retribution. Tasked with delivering critical plans for a Nazi sub-detector to English Major X-9, her mission begins in shadow and silence. George Tuska handles both art and inks for the interior, while Nick Cardy delivers the striking cover.
