Written, drawn, and inked by Bill Ward, this story blends quirky humor with classic mystery, spotlighting Torchy’s resourcefulness in a role far outside her usual beat. The cover, by Mike Machlan and Mark Heike, captures the moment with a touch of whimsy and intrigue.
Commando Yank ventures into the heart of a forbidden temple, where legend says no one has dared to tamper with the One-Eyed Yellow Idol—its missing eye a riddle carved in stone and superstition. With the fate of a campaign hanging in the balance, he must decide whether to trust the myth or risk everything by placing the idol’s eye into its opposite socket.
In "The Case of the Kidnapped Corpse," a murdered jeweler leaves behind a mystery that pulls Manhunter into a tangled investigation, while his partner Richards faces suspension. With clues pointing in unexpected directions, the case tests both their instincts and the limits of justice.
In "Tailored for a Song," Torchy steps in to help a struggling singer whose voice is frozen by too much ice cream—literally—leaving her unable to perform. With the concert looming and her mentor Bolerini in a bind, Torchy is unexpectedly chosen as a replacement, despite having no singing experience.
In "The Death Room," Doll Man takes flight—literally—borrowing a model plane from Tim Smith to pursue the grotesque jewel thief Grimes. After a high-stakes chase and capture, he returns the plane with a simple $10 bill, closing the chapter with quiet respect for the trust placed in him.
