In "Race with Death!", young Tommy Well’s quiet life takes a dangerous turn when his father’s job at the Ajax Skate Company—now under the control of two shady ex-cons—becomes the center of a high-stakes game of deception and danger. Written by David Vern and illustrated by Jim Mooney, this 1950 thriller sees the Boy Wonder racing against time to uncover a scheme that could bring down the company from within. The cover by Fred Ray captures the urgency of the moment, a classic piece of DC’s Golden Age storytelling.

In "Born to Skate," young Tommy Well, whose father works as a bookkeeper for the Ajax Skate Company, finds himself drawn into a mystery when the company's recent acquisition by two former felons raises red flags. With his sharp instincts and knack for justice, the Boy Wonder uncovers a scheme tied to the payroll—just as the rink's icy surface becomes the stage for a high-stakes game of wits and courage.
