In "Mayhem At the Martian Election," the Chameleon races to clear young Jo’s name after Mike Donati plants evidence to frame him for a robbery, all while a bizarre election on Mars unfolds in the background. Written by Paul Quinn and illustrated by Bill Everett—handling art, inks, letters, and colors—this 1940 novelty comic blends street-level intrigue with interplanetary chaos. The cover by Carl Burgos captures the wild energy of the story, setting the tone for a tale where truth is as hard to find as a fair election.
