With her sharp instincts and photographic eye, she tracks down a fugitive Nazi war criminal in the aftermath of World War II. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Clem Weisbecker, this gripping tale blends wartime espionage with postwar justice, all framed by a striking cover by Leo Bachle.
When Public Enemy #1, Johnny Dukes, escapes prison and seizes an airplane over Manhattan, the city’s streets go silent—especially for Jo, who’s just handed over the evidence that sent him away. Now, with the skies above them alive with danger, Jo must face the man who once ruled the streets, and the past that won’t stay buried.
In the village of Sawtuva-Boorda, when the Feast of the Fish hangs in the balance, Jo’s neighbor Juan takes a bold, feathered gamble—secretly teaming up with a visiting pelican to keep tradition alive. A delightfully absurd tale of community, improvisation, and unlikely alliances, this 1947 gem captures the spirit of small-town charm with a splash of whimsy.
In the aftermath of the war, Madelon—once a resistance fighter who stepped into her father’s role after his death at the hands of the Gestapo—turns her lens toward justice, using her skills as a photographer to track down a Nazi fugitive hiding in the shadows of postwar Europe.
