Detective Comics #308
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Flame-Master," a 1962 issue of Detective Comics, a series of bizarre local laws across America take center stage in a mystery that’s as quirky as it is compelling. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Henry Boltinoff, the story unfolds with a playful yet sharp edge, using real-world oddities—from mailbox mandates in Vancouver to cherry pie requirements in Traverse City—as the foundation for a puzzle that keeps readers guessing. The cover, by Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff, captures the story’s offbeat tone with a striking, stylized image that hints at the strange case ahead.
In "The Day John Jones Vanished!", Manhunter travels to Lavonia to return an ancient ring to King Leo—only to be struck by lightning, leaving him stranded and accused of theft. As his identity as John Jones slips away, the mystery deepens with no clear way back to his Earth self.
