Golden-Age Mystery Men #1

In "The Eye of the Lady Serpent!", the Black Terror and his partner Tim race against time to stop the escaped Lady Serpent, a cunning villain whose violent jailbreak has already claimed the warden’s life. With the Maharajah of Argozil’s priceless jewels en route to town, the duo must uncover her next move before she strikes—before the city becomes her next victim.

In the shadowed halls of Black Tower Castle, a film crew arrives under the watchful eye of the enigmatic Baroness, whose icy charm hides a darker intent. When the director casts Lon Calypso as the film’s monster, the Baroness sees a far more personal role for him—her husband—prompting a desperate refusal and a deadly vow. As Cornelia Erin vanishes into the castle’s depths, the crew turns to the only creature they believe can save her: the monster they’ve summoned. But when the Heap emerges from the darkness, the true nature of the duel begins to unfold.
