The Fly, tracking the crime, uncovers the device’s hidden periscope and speaker, only to face the full power of Marco’s gaze—until a clever twist breaks the spell. Written by Joe Simon and drawn with dynamic flair by Jack Kirby, with inks by Simon and Kirby, and lettered by Howard Ferguson, this 1/- comic from Alan Class features a striking cover by Bill Vigoda.
In "The New Member!", a would-be explorer is rejected by a prestigious club for lacking the traditional hunting credentials—elephant or lion—only to reveal a far more extraordinary origin. Written with a wry twist, the story quietly subverts expectations in just three pages, leaving readers with a curious smile and a new perspective on what it means to belong.
In "Marco's Eyes," a humiliated talent show performer named Jo turns to a bizarre scheme after his defeat, using a giant billboard with hypnotic eyes to manipulate bankers and jewelers into stealing for mobsters. When The Fly investigates, he discovers the billboard’s hidden periscope and speaker amplify Marco’s control—until a clever twist forces the performer to face his own spotlight.
