Madhouse Comics Digest #4

In "The Girl Who Cried Wolf," Fran’s repeated pranks to win attention from Dick and Dippy backfire when she’s in real danger—drowning, that is—only to be rescued by Jessica Crystal, a no-nonsense women’s lib supporter with a cool head and a sharp eye. The story’s humor and heart come from the twist of who truly sees Fran’s need when it matters most.

In "Super Disguise v.s. Super Market Man," the hero faces his most baffling foe yet: a villain who can morph into anything found in a supermarket, turning shelves and packaging into weapons. With every aisle a new trap and every product a potential threat, Super Disguise must think fast before the grocery store becomes a battleground.

In "Market Marauders [part 2]," Super Disguise, facing a forced resignation from the Union of Super Heroes, takes a wildly unorthodox approach—slipping into the role of a sheet of trading stamps to catch Super Market Man in the act. With his identity hidden in plain sight, he’s on a high-stakes mission through the aisles of a bustling grocery store, where every aisle holds a new clue and every shopper could be the villain.

Jo and their friends thought ditching monster school would be the ultimate escape—until they realized the real world doesn’t hand out jobs to unlicensed horrors. With no degree and a whole host of supernatural qualifications that don’t count, they’re stuck navigating a human world that doesn’t know what to do with them.

In "The Case of the Handmade Frame," student criminologists Rod and Clyde take on a puzzling theft—only to find themselves accused of insurance fraud when a priceless painting vanishes. With their reputations on the line, it’s up to Fran to untangle the mystery before the real culprit slips through the cracks.

In "The Peacemaker," Fran’s decision to dance with Danny sets off a chain of awkward apologies and escalating misunderstandings when Danny tries to make amends with Rod—only for both boys to spiral into a petty argument over who started it. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story captures the messy, heartfelt chaos of teenage friendship and rivalry in just five pages.

In "Hit the Road," Mr. Didit escapes his daily routine through a vivid daydream: a carefree life as a fiddler in a gypsy camp, where he shares music and mystery with a woman who looks just like Fran. The story captures a fleeting, sun-drenched fantasy of freedom, wrapped in the rhythm of a wandering life.
