Champ Comics #22

In "The Case of the Haunted Castle," Dan and Diane stumble upon a kidnapping in progress when they arrive at the mayor’s office—just as the man himself is whisked away in a sudden, mysterious abduction. With the trail cold and the city in turmoil, the twins take up the hunt, chasing whispers of a cursed castle on the edge of town. Penciled and inked by Al Bryant in a crisp, early-40s style, this tale of suspense and mystery features a cover by Joe Simon, whose dynamic art captures the eerie tension of the story’s central setting.
