Leading Comics #13

In "Trophies of Crime! Chapter 1," the Law's Legionnaires guard a curious collection of seemingly mundane objects—each a prized possession once coveted by the notorious master criminal the Barracuda. Now on display at a local museum, these items are more than relics; they’re clues in a high-stakes race to keep the Barracuda from completing his private Museum of Crime.

In "Chapter 2: Crime's Cornerstone!" from Leading Comics #13 (1944), The Kid and Stripesy race to uncover the secret behind a mysterious stone embedded in the Belford Building—once part of a prison and now a key to a hidden criminal operation. When the Barracuda deploys a robot to reclaim the stone, The Kid uncovers its true purpose: a smuggler’s relic hollowed out for secrets, and he uses that knowledge to outwit the machine with a clever substitution.

In "Chapter 3: The Cup of the Borgias!" from Leading Comics #13 (1944), the Knight races through Transparent City to claim the legendary poisoned cup of the Borgias, only to find Silver Dollar Dan and his gang one step ahead—though their own cunning backfires when they fall into the very trap they laid for the law.

In "Chapter 4: The Rubber Dagger!" from Leading Comics #13 (1944), the mysterious death of rubber baron J. Edwards at his plantation leaves the police baffled—no weapon was found. The Vigilante races against Big House Bennie to uncover the truth behind the vanished murder weapon before it’s too late.

In "Chapter 5: The Sails of the Sally C.!", the Crimson and Wing slip into disguise to infiltrate a mysterious vessel, tracking the elusive Barracuda through the decks of the Sally C. Their mission takes a surprising turn when they uncover that the criminal’s true target isn’t treasure or secrets—but a hidden section of the ship’s main sail.

In "Chapter 6: The Iron Band!" from Leading Comics #13 (1944), Green Arrow tracks a mysterious iron ring to a radio factory worker, only to find the ring hums with forgotten voices—echoes of a mobster’s past, used to command his gang from afar. The discovery sets off a chain of events that pulls the hero deeper into a hidden network of secrets, where every whisper might be a clue—or a trap.
