In "The Mudslinger," Alex dons a cape and becomes Mighty Man, teaming up with his sister Alexandra—now Mighty Girl—in a quest to stop a villain who doesn’t actually exist. The duo’s misadventures take a turn when they chase a prankster named Pepper, who’s been impersonating the mythical Mudslinger with help from Melody. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Vincent DeCarlo, this 1966 issue captures the playful spirit of Archie’s superhero spoof era, all wrapped in Dan DeCarlo’s iconic cover art.
