In "Triple Trouble," Randy returns to his hometown to find a statue erected in his honor for a past heroism—only to witness a judge presiding over a criminal trial. As he sits in the courtroom, a veiled threat to the judge’s life slips through his ears, leading him on a frantic chase that ends with the judge’s son taken and a shocking discovery: the statue meant to honor him is rigged with explosives, set to detonate during the judge’s upcoming speech. Written and illustrated by Alvin Hollingsworth, with a cover by E. C. Stoner, this 1946 Fox comic delivers a tense, twist-laden mystery rooted in gratitude and betrayal.
