Crack Comics #20
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Mysto the Hindu" in Crack Comics #20 (1942) delivers a delightfully absurd twist on romance and mistaken identity, all drawn with crisp, expressive lines by John Devlin. When a simple note on a shirt cuff sets off a chain of misadventures, a laundry man’s bold plan to court a wealthy widow takes an unexpected turn. Gill Fox’s cover captures the comic’s playful tone with a striking, stylized portrait of the story’s central figure.
When Senator Thomas Wright spots his old nemesis Jaspar Crow at a theater performance by the magician Mysto, he suspects foul play—and transforms into the Black Condor to investigate. The flying hero uncovers a criminal scheme involving stolen diamonds, hypnotic magic, and a daring bank heist coordinated through New York's underground tunnels. The Black Condor must stop Crow and Mysto before they escape with millions in gold.
The Clock tracks down the Gelton Boys, a ruthless criminal gang terrorizing the city—and as usual, the masked detective beats the police to the punch in collaring the rest of the crew. It's another solid case for Brian O'Brien, proving why he stays one step ahead of both crooks and cops alike.
In this 1941 humor tale from Crack Comics #20, Pop’s casual note to himself—writing Widow Clancy’s address on his shirt cuff—sparks a chain of mistaken romance when Molly sends the shirt to the laundry. The laundry man, taking the note as a personal invitation, sets out to court the widow himself.
