☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "An American Story!", Wilbur finds himself caught between worlds after earning a fortune in Comic Land, only to discover he can’t carry more than four cents out of it. With the rails leading him astray, he’s suddenly thrust into the wild west—where adventure, danger, and the strange rules of reality await. Written by Horace L. Gold and illustrated by Irving Tirman, with a striking cover by Mac Raboy, this 1945 Spark Publications classic blends surreal humor with frontier grit in a tale that’s as unpredictable as the tracks themselves.
In "An American Story!" from Green Lama #6 (1945), the Green Lama tracks down a man whose hate-filled letter to the magazine’s publishers reveals dangerous, Fascist-leaning ideals. When he finds the man, the Lama takes him on a stark, eye-opening journey to the front lines—where ideology meets reality in ways no pamphlet could convey.
In "The Carnival Cure!" from Green Lama #6 (1945), Jo and his friends are hired by a wealthy woman to help reform her wayward son—leading them straight to the circus, where they stumble upon a robbery just as the big top lights up.
In "The Trouble With Magic..." from Green Lama #6 (1945), Angus returns to Great Britain and encounters a sleight-of-hand magician who longs to perform real magic. When Angus grants his wish for just 24 hours, the line between illusion and the supernatural blurs—yet even with undeniable feats, the world remains unconvinced.
Rick Masters, a former war ace, makes a rash promise to rescue mountain-climber Judy Sanders after she's marooned on a treacherous plateau—a feat that seems impossible when the dangerous updrafts make a standard parachute drop unfeasible. With his partner Mike Twin Eagles watching from below, Rick devises an audacious plan involving a specially made bat-suit to reach her, but the real danger may come after the rescue is complete. It's a wild aerial adventure that proves sometimes the only way to accomplish the impossible is to think outside the box.
In "null," Wilbur finds himself trapped in a surreal loop after amassing wealth in Comic Land, only to discover he can’t carry more than four cents out—a tiny sum that feels like a fortune in a world where even the rails lead him astray. With the wrong train pulling him into the dusty chaos of the wild west, he’s left scrambling through a landscape that’s as unpredictable as it is impossible to escape.
