With the quarry’s hidden corpses serving as models for lifelike doppelgängers, Izan plans to unleash a midnight blackout and trigger a full-scale coup by turning the city’s lights on at once. Penciled by Don Rico and Ed Winiarski, inked by George Klein, and featuring a cover by Syd Shores, this 1943 wartime thriller blends suspense and espionage in a story that’s as tense as it is classic.

Steve and Bucky go skinny-dipping in a quarry when they are interrupted by Izan (Nazi spelled backwards), who has been using the quarry to dump in bodies of victims (dying air raid wardens) that he has used as models to construct look-alikes from his own henchmen. He then uses them to turn on all the lights in the city at midnight to facilitate a Nazi coup.
