Written by Otto Binder and brought to life with dynamic art by Jim Mooney (who also handled the cover pencils and inks), this 1967 installment of House of Mystery blends childhood wonder with superhero thrills in a story where courage and memory collide.
When Suzy uncovers Robby’s secret and takes up the H-Dial, she’s transformed into the radiant Gem Girl—her courage and quick thinking proving vital in facing the menacing Toymaster. But after the battle, a sudden amnesia erases her memories of the adventure, leaving her with only a lingering sense of something extraordinary she once did.
