Hit Comics #43
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeHit Comics #43 is an anthology issue featuring at least two stories. "Sir Roger" follows the master of aliases through various incarnations—as The Tilter in the pinball circuit, as philanthropist Phil Philanthropist (knighted by the Potsania King), and as Engineer—whose careers involve encounters with armored cars, gold mines, and naval adventures. A second story involves characters dining together and discussing past exploits, including encounters with Native American tribes and coyotes, before transitioning to a naval rescue scenario where sailors assist in retrieving something from the sea and interact with a captain named Bones who demands payment for passage.
Kid Eternity spots a meek man named Mr. Sadlee being bullied by his sharp-tongued wife and decides to teach her a lesson by summoning famous couples from history—first the quarrelsome Socrates and Xanthippe, then the devoted Ulysses and Penelope—to demonstrate what marriage should and shouldn't be. But when Mr. Keeper warns that Kid's well-meaning interference might backfire, things spiral in ways the young hero didn't anticipate, and a particularly dangerous figure from legend gets loose with his own ideas about how to handle marital discord.
Two Navy sailors and a Marine find themselves at the mercy of Captain Bones, a cunning pirate who intercepts their disabled sailboat—only to discover from a newspaper that a fortune in cash is waiting unguarded at a nearby shipping office. When Bones hatches a scheme to frame the servicemen for the theft, the resourceful pair must use their wits and a bit of maritime ingenuity to turn the tables on the ruthless captain and his crew.
When Betty Bates finally attends her college class reunion, the festive gathering takes a deadly turn: a beloved classmate is found shot dead, and Betty—a hard-working district attorney—must sift through old grudges and fresh motives to uncover the killer. As secrets from school days surface and suspects emerge from unexpected places, Betty discovers that this reunion holds far more danger than nostalgia.
