Written, drawn, and inked by George Brenner, the story delivers a tight, action-packed mystery with the hero confronting threats without ever revealing his masked identity. The cover by Ed Cronin captures the tension of the moment, a 10-cent comic that’s a standout in early superhero storytelling.
In "Crime at the International Fair," O'Brien finds himself at the 1939 World's Fair, where a sudden clash with the Boss and Chick unfolds—no mask needed, just quick thinking and nerve. The bustling fairgrounds become the stage for a tense standoff that tests O'Brien’s instincts in the open, without the usual disguise.
When a man accused of pushing his mother-in-law into a creek tries to defend himself with an obscure geographical reference, the folks of the Bungle household end up in a spirited debate over what the word actually means—leading to a hilarious search through dictionaries and increasingly wild guesses that only muddy the waters further. This short comedy sketch by H.J. Tuthill is pure domestic confusion, where nobody quite wins the argument and the real crime gets lost in translation.
Sergeant Reynolds of the Mounted arrives at a Cree encampment to investigate a series of murders, guided by Amo, a young man who wears a protective mask his father gave him. When Chief Big Horn—a medicine man who rules the tribe through fear and dark magic—threatens the sergeant and his constable, Reynolds must outwit the chief and stop the killings before more blood is shed.
