Written and illustrated by Irving Tirman, the story blends wartime intrigue with pulp-era oddities, as Gabby's latest invention spirals into something far beyond his control. The cover by Irving Tirman captures the story’s zany energy, making this a standout entry in the series’ quirky lineup.
In "null," former criminal Knuckles trades his life of crime for a quiet existence as a gardener, tending to poppies in a flower shop he took over by force. But when Lady Luck pulls the rug out from under him, his peaceful new life is uprooted—again—and he’s headed back to prison.
In "null," The Marksman and Anna race across South America—from Argentina to Ecuador, Bolivia, and finally to the remote Nomua Island—chasing Major Sinushi in a high-stakes showdown. Swept into the chaos of a raging typhoon, they’re left at the mercy of nature and the island’s unforgiving terrain, but the local people step in to aid their survival. The story ends with the pair waiting for rescue, still in the thick of danger.
Daffy Dill, the honest lady wrestler, finds herself crossed by her own manager Deke when he falls under the spell of the glamorous but crooked Googoo LaBelle, who runs all the rackets in town—but Daffy and the reformed grappler Mangler Muggins team up to expose the whole operation. It's a wild blend of wrestling action and comedy as beauty and brawn clash, with a final twist on what really matters when the dust settles.
