In "Murder Referees the Round!", the enigmatic Lightning Bug uses her Z-Rays—harnessing a mysterious electromagnetic force through her belt and cowl antennae—to orchestrate a deadly scheme from the shadows. When her rigged radios begin to kill their owners and unleash chaos, the only one who can stop her is Sargon, trapped and dragged by the very device meant to destroy him. Paul Reinman’s crisp art brings the eerie, high-stakes action to life, while H. G. Peter’s striking cover captures the menace of the masked villainess.
