The Creeper by Steve Ditko #[nn]

In "The Coming of The Creeper!!", Jack Ryder, a fired TV host turned security investigator, stumbles into a deadly conspiracy after being hired to track down the kidnapped Professor Yatz. When a mysterious stabbing plunges him into Yatz’s hidden cell, he’s injected with a revolutionary molecular transmitter and a healing serum—transforming him into the unpredictable, masked vigilante known as The Creeper. As he unleashes chaotic justice on criminals and corrupt officials, including mob boss Angel Devilin, the new hero discovers his body has been altered beyond recognition, setting the stage for a relentless crusade.

In "Enter Dr. Storme," former weatherman Al Whetly returns to Gotham’s Cosmic TV station under the guise of the enigmatic Dr. Storme, seeking revenge on Sunny Daze for his downfall. When his powers ignite Jack Ryder’s transformation into the Creeper, the villain flees in terror—only to return, setting a trap that draws the Creeper into a final, electrifying confrontation. With Sam Hagen and Fran Daye aiding in a daring ruse, the truth behind Dr. Storme’s identity is revealed, leading to a climactic clash that pushes the Creeper to the edge of control.
