In "The Effigy," a mad scientist's hidden mountain fortress becomes the center of a twisted scheme as he uses a mysterious ray to capture passing planes, enslaving their crews to build a sprawling futuristic city. Written by Carl Wessler and illustrated by Jimmy Infantino, with inks by Jim Infantino, this 1956 tale blends pulp sci-fi with classic mystery as a detective uncovers the truth and brings the inventor to justice.
