More Fun Comics #96
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Weather Prophet!", a 1944 entry from More Fun Comics #96, the ever-crafty Percy schemes to boost his fame by staging fake crimes and solving them for the press—only to be outmaneuvered by Boots Young, who uses a clever ruse to expose him. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Bernard Baily, with letters by Howard Ferguson and a cover by Cliff Young, this classic tale blends pulp intrigue with a dash of supernatural flair.
When the Wizard behind Dr. Fate’s powers temporarily loses his own magic, Fate’s abilities vanish too—leaving him powerless just as a group of miners is trapped in a cave-in. Without his mystical might, Fate must find a way to save them using only his wits and courage.
In "Publicity Hound!", Jo, a clever and resourceful hero, teams up with Boots Young to outsmart the self-promoting Percy, who’s staging fake crimes to boost his fame. When Percy hires a press agent to amplify his heroic image, Boots flips the script by feeding the agent a misleading tip about a bank heist—while the real action unfolds elsewhere.
