Masked Marvel #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue features two main stories. In the Masked Marvel story, the hero battles criminals who have stolen a "magnet" and are planning to use it on a model plane, leading to a confrontation involving a red plane, a tramway wreck, and a volcano where the Marvel pursues the villain known as the Hawk across a snowy mountain landscape. In "Doc Doyle: The Scientific Detective," by Maurice Gutwirth, the titular detective investigates the "Case of the R," leaving his headquarters and taking a walk through the neighborhood to track down a Doctor Claney and uncover the mystery.
In the isolated mountains of 1940, Fadeaway Farr arrives at the cabin of Hermit Jackson—only to witness him shot dead. Forced to flee, Fadeaway is captured by the ruthless Strike Caine, who demands he guide his men through the treacherous terrain. Amid the danger, he forms an uneasy alliance with Caine’s daughter, Mary, a young woman haunted by her father’s cruelty and secretly trained in medicine. As they escape into the wilderness, pursued by Caine’s men, Fadeaway must rely on instinct and courage to survive—until a broken token reveals a truth buried for eighteen years: Mary is not just a prisoner, but the lost daughter of the very man she once called father.
