Detective Comics #7

In "In Atlantic City," Slam answers a cryptic telegram and arrives in the seaside town to find the sender dead—drowned under mysterious circumstances. Disguised as lifeguards, he and his partner Shorty investigate, rescuing swimmer Ethel Mann from the surf only to hear her claim she was seized by non-human arms. When Shorty is dragged under by an unseen force, Slam rushes in to save him—only to uncover the truth behind the terror: a man in a diving suit, not a monster.

In "The Premonition of Emil Rogello," Cosmo answers a frantic call from his friend Emilio, who claims to have foreseen a deadly threat—only to find him dead upon arrival. Disguising himself as Emilio, Cosmo narrowly evades a knife attack, using the killer’s reflection to anticipate the strike. The truth behind the murder lies in a sinister return from an asylum, and Cosmo must unravel the mystery before another life is lost.

In "At the Rodeo," a deadly ambush at a rodeo sends shockwaves through the crowd—first a champion rider is shot mid-ride, then Speed, watching from the stands, narrowly escapes a similar fate when he’s thrown clear just before the shot. With danger lurking in plain sight, Speed must untangle a web of resentment and sabotage among the rodeo’s performers, where a disgraced rider’s grudge may be the key to a violent plot.
