☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Make-Up for Murder," the Ghost takes on a dual threat as wartime tensions mount, confronting Nazi spies while defiantly singing the patriotic tune "I Am an American" — a bold moment of resistance in a 1942 comic where heroism and national pride are front and center. Written, drawn, and inked by George Brenner, the story blends wartime intrigue with a touch of musical flair, all framed by Gill Fox’s striking cover art.
When spies disguised with expert makeup infiltrate the Cole Chemical Works posing as employees Johnson and Smithers, it falls to Stormy Foster—the Great Defender—to uncover the sabotage plot before a vital defense facility is destroyed. As the real workers go missing and an imposter spy ring threatens catastrophe, the masked hero must stop a scheme built on deception and exposives, then track down the master of disguise pulling the strings from the shadows.
Dan Tootin, a madcap chemist posing as a painless dentist, hawks his latest invention to patients eager to test it—but when his formula doesn't quite live up to the promises on his sign, he banks on their credulity (and his poker face) to keep up appearances. It's a one-page romp about a con man who'd rather bluff his way through than admit defeat.
