Space Adventures #14

When a Hollywood producer arranges a scheme to film the Blue Beetle's real-life adventures—without the hero knowing he's being recorded—Dan Garret finds himself unknowingly starring in a dangerous movie production, all while his civilian identity remains a secret from the filmmakers and their stand-in actress. As hidden cameras roll and staged perils unfold across the city, the line between genuine crime-fighting and elaborate stunt work blurs in unexpected and hazardous ways.

Reporter Joan Mason and Officer Mike Mannigan investigate what seems like a routine fire at a tenement building, only to uncover a murder tied to a half-burned painting found in the victim's hand. When a mysterious caller begins phoning Joan with cryptic messages and a killer obsessed with reproducing terror strikes again, the two find themselves drawn deeper into a dangerous case where the murderer's twisted motivations become the only thread that might lead to his capture.
