National Comics #20

Jimmy Cinch trades tall tales with Windy Breeze, boasting about his impossible daredevil exploits until he decides to back up his bravado with a wild joy ride that ends in a hay stack. When the dust settles, Cinch has some explaining to do about how he managed to keep the car in one piece—though his brake situation might tell a different story.

In "The Speed Demons," a 1942 National Comics tale, a crime boss unleashes a drug that supercharges his henchmen’s abilities—turning one, Joe, into a blur of speed. With reflexes beyond human limits, Joe becomes a relentless force, but Quicksilver’s clever tactics and lightning unpredictability keep him one step ahead.

Pen Miller, the cartoonist-detective, spots something suspicious when a blind peddler begins making mysterious transactions on the street—and discovers the old man is unknowingly trafficking in morphine. Teaming up with his partner Niki, Miller goes undercover to trace the drug operation back to its source, only to find himself walking straight into the clutches of the sinister Dr. Quince. Miller must use his wits and Niki's quick thinking to survive an encounter with a criminal mastermind far more dangerous than the street-level pusher.
