Mystery Men Comics #29

When Dan Garrett stumbles onto a suspicious carnival, he discovers that the sinister Countess Belladonna—a master thief and murderer capable of hypnosis—has disguised herself among the attractions to prey on the town's jewelers and wealthy citizens. As the Blue Beetle races to stop her reign of terror and rescue the hypnotized Joan from the Countess's grip, he finds himself locked in a battle of wits against a cunning villain who shifts identities as easily as she changes clothes.

The Green Mask and Domino stumble onto a grim string of murders—bodies found without hands—and their investigation leads them to Dr. Moru, an unscrupulous surgeon with a sinister scheme to alter criminals' identities by grafting severed hands onto new bodies. When a reporter gets too close to the truth, the masked heroes must battle the doctor and his gang to stop the horrifying operation.

When a mysterious hooded killer strikes down the master of Abbot Manor and entombs his body in the cellar, the dark secret begins to spread like a web—reaching across seven hundred miles to a young woman named Irene and her brother Larry, newly declared heirs to the manor. As Joseph Creel, the late master's secretary, summons them to claim their inheritance, the Wraith—the spectral avenger Gary Kennedy—must race against time and the rising sun to protect them from a killer waiting in the shadows of their new home. Paul Develin illustrates this supernatural race between a ghost and a murderer in "Codicil of Death," where a year-old crime threatens to claim fresh victims before midnight strikes again.

When Special Prosecutor Lewis announces his plans to dismantle a counterfeiting ring and apprehend the mysterious Death Master, he has no idea that his own investigation is walking him straight into a trap—courtesy of the very criminal he's hunting. The Lynx and his ally must uncover the Death Master's dark secret and the sinister forces pulling the strings behind the scenes, all while racing against a killer whose strange powers seem unstoppable.
