In "Crime Goes to Press," the Master of Speed takes a surprising turn, trading his usual high-speed heroics for a reporter's badge at "The Daily Star." When the paper’s editor is threatened for exposing local racketeers, the hero steps in to uncover the truth—no mask, no cape, just a notebook and a determination to bring the city’s corruption to light.

The Bombs of Doom

John Peters (death)Senator Rogers (death)Zarpo (introductionvillaindeath)

In "The Bombs of Doom," a disgruntled inventor, scorned when the government dismisses his deadly 5-minute proximity bomb as "silly," turns his invention against the very institution that rejected him. With a mind unhinged by rejection, he sets his sights on a nation he once sought to protect—now his target.
