In "Captain Marvel Meets the Man Nobody Loved!", Billy Batson finds himself caught in a Hollywood stunt when a letter from director Hitchblock pulls him into a movie set—only to become the star of a real-life thriller. With Mr. Mind back and using the film’s production as a cover to launch his next scheme, the young hero must dodge a mechanical worm with a mind of its own and a cadre of monsters sent to silence him. Otto Binder and C. C. Beck bring the action to life with their signature energy, while Pete Costanza’s cover captures the chaos in bold, dynamic lines.

In "The Monster Society of Evil Starring Captain Marvel Chapter 17: Mr. Mind's Movie Madness," Mr. Mind slips free once more, this time turning Hollywood into his stage. When Billy receives a letter from director Hitchblock inviting him to star in a film meant to expose the Monster Society, Mr. Mind seizes the chance—slipping into the studio and taking over the movie’s mechanical worm, then sending his monsters to snatch Billy and hurl him off a cliff.
