"Wiesl's Gasoline Raiders" kicks off in Startling Comics #3 (1942), a standout entry from the early Golden Age, featuring art by August Froehlich in both pencils and inks. When explorer Ames uncovers a mysterious creature on the Ogalo River, four rivals—Horner, Manson, Powers, and Beale—race to claim it first, unaware they’re chasing a giant spider that will soon become the star attraction at the Carson Circus. The cover, by Elmer Wexler, captures the tension of the hunt with bold, dynamic lines.
