Midnight #6

In "Georgie, the Big Shot," the Wilson sisters—Mary and Martha—decide it’s time to rein in their domineering brother Georgie after he demands they remove a phone he finds intrusive. They conspire to replace his furniture with impossibly large pieces, hoping to humble him, but the results are more surprising than anyone anticipated. The story unfolds with quiet wit and whimsy, capturing the shift in power with a touch of fantasy charm.

In "There's Only One — Miss America!" from Midnight #6 (1958), Joseph Pulitzer rallies the nation to save the Statue of Liberty’s placement on Bedloe’s Island when a funding gap threatens the project. With the help of a nationwide newspaper campaign and heartfelt donations from school children, the effort swells into a powerful display of public pride. As the celebration nears, Pulitzer prepares to welcome Washington’s leaders—proving that even the grandest monuments can rise from the people’s will.

In "Ebbtide," a storm traps Tad, Jimmy Cobb, and Vickie at a remote lighthouse where Silas Daunt has been murdered under impossible circumstances—no one could have reached the isolated outpost, yet muddy, monstrous footprints mark the scene. With the storm raging and the truth buried beneath the tide, the trio must untangle a mystery that feels less like a crime and more like a ghost story.

Carl McGee's relentless pursuit of the truth as a newspaper editor puts him on a collision course with Senator Albert B. Fall, whose questionable dealings McGee refuses to ignore—even when threats, violence, and financial ruin are turned against him. Though McGee's fight to expose corruption costs him dearly, his unwavering commitment to honest journalism ultimately leads to a reckoning that reaches the highest levels of government. This is the story of a man who understood that the real power of the press lies not in backing down, but in asking the questions others fear to ask.
