☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Iron Jaw Meets His Master," the notorious criminal Iron Jaw walks free after being declared insane—thanks to the testimony of the seemingly trustworthy Dr. Manners. Under the guise of a reformed man, Iron Jaw tricks a spy named Loover, who believes he's been rehabilitated, but Crimebuster remains suspicious. Written and illustrated by Charles Biro, this gripping tale from 1951 sees the line between madness and manipulation blur, with the cover by Charles Biro capturing the tension in a single, stark image.
In "Iron Jaw Meets His Master," the long-dead superhero Iron Jaw is summoned by the mysterious Chancellor for a deadly mission: destroy the U.S. atomic bomb supply. When Crimebuster stumbles upon their secret meeting and is captured, he barely escapes—only to turn the tide with a daring countermove using an atomic bomb of his own.
In "Boomerang of Destruction," the Iron Jaw—surviving an atomic explosion and adrift in a small boat—makes a desperate, destructive run toward New York, aiming to destroy the Statue of Liberty before being overwhelmed by the sea and captured by Crimebuster.
In "Old Dog, New Tricks," Iron Jaw’s acquittal on grounds of insanity sets the stage for a tense game of deception when psychiatrist Dr. Manners declares him cured. Loover takes on a risky undercover role as a captured spy, only to find Iron Jaw playing along—too convincingly for comfort. With doubt creeping in, Crimebuster must uncover the truth behind Dr. Manners’ unsettling influence before the city falls victim to another scheme.
