In "The Blockbuster Breaks Loose!", The Elongated Man and his wife Sue head to Lake Cherokee for a quiet fishing trip—only to discover the lake is dry, leaving behind a strange scene: a man using a magnet in the mud to pull up a key. When the Elongated Man follows the mysterious fisherman to the home of Elmer Ewell, he uncovers a house rigged with a bizarre anti-theft system that strikes at 13 o’clock. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Carmine Infantino, with lettering by Gaspar Saladino, this 1966 mystery features a cover by Joe Kubert that captures the eerie intrigue of the tale.
