Leading Comics #5

In "The Miracles That Money Couldn't Buy," Green Arrow, Speedy, and the Crimson Avenger team up to unravel a string of impossible prison breakouts, each orchestrated by the enigmatic and dangerous Skull. With the city on edge and no clues to follow, the heroes must outthink a mastermind who turns the law’s own systems against them.

In "Chapter 2: The Case of the Criminal Vigilante," the real Vigilante must unravel a dangerous deception when a masked imposter—Bronco Blade—uses the hero’s identity to steal Spinaway, the world’s fastest racehorse, from stubborn owner Roscoe Meek. With the stakes high and the trail leading through shadowy backroads, the Vigilante races to expose the truth before the real crime goes unpunished.

In "Chapter III: Diamond of Doom!" from Leading Comics #5 (1942), the Kid and Stripsey go head-to-head with Sparkler, a ruthless mob enforcer working for the Skull, after he’s tasked with stealing the priceless Koram Diamond from its unwilling owner—despite a million-dollar offer being refused. With danger flashing like the gem itself, the duo must outwit a criminal with a flair for the dramatic and a penchant for high-stakes theft.

In "Chapter 5: Knight Without Armor," the Shining Knight finds his usual edge compromised when his trusted armor is stolen—by one of the Skull's own men, Greider—leaving him vulnerable in a world where even the law sees him as a threat.

In the final chapter of "The Miracles That Money Couldn't Buy," the Law's Legionaires close in on the Skull, determined to stop him before he activates the stolen machine that promises him eternal life. With time running out and the stakes higher than ever, the fate of the city hangs in the balance.
