☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn this 1949 issue of Criminals on the Run #10, ghost detective Sergeant Spook takes on a corrupt mayor when he uncovers a scheme to defraud the city by using shoddy materials for a new playground—despite the project's public approval. Written by Ray Gill and illustrated by John Jordon, the story follows young Jerry as he leads a petition to bring the playground to life, only to find the promise undermined by deception. The cover, by L. B. Cole, captures the moment of revelation as Spook exposes the truth.
In "null," ghost detective Sergeant Spook takes a stand for the kids of the city’s slum district when he intervenes to save them from a near-accident. With the help of one of the boys, Jerry, he launches a campaign to build a proper playground—only to uncover a corrupt scheme when the Mayor secretly skims funds by using shoddy materials. The story unfolds with quiet determination, blending social conscience and sleuthing in a tale that’s as much about justice as it is about a playground.
In the shadowed halls of the aging Skylight building, a string of strange accidents and sudden deaths has driven the owner to desperate measures—selling at a fraction of its value. When Dr. Doom and his sharp-eyed detective students step in to unravel the truth, they find themselves chasing shadows in a place where every floor holds a secret.
