☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue features "Solid Jackson" in a story where Jackson attempts to purchase a house on an adjoining estate but discovers it is haunted and inhabited by the ghost of a multi-billionaire named Coldhome Knox. Jackson schemes to convince the new owner that the house is terminally haunted so the purchase will be abandoned, but his plan backfires when the owner, determined to clinch the deal despite the supernatural threat, stays put. The story concludes with Jackson's comeuppance as he becomes entangled in the chaos of the haunting he tried to exploit. Additionally, the issue includes a Popsicle-sponsored contest offering 1,000 Columbia bicycles as prizes to readers who complete picture puzzles, with 100 bicycles given away each week for ten weeks.
In "Lights, Camera, Action!" from The Kilroys #48, Jo and Jackson find themselves caught in a whirlwind when a film crew rolls into town and recruits Jackson to help scout locations—specifically, a soda shop that’s supposed to be the scene of a staged robbery. But when the real thing happens before the cameras roll, the line between movie magic and real-life chaos starts to blur.
In "null," Ollie tries to impress Nancy by joining the track team, only to stumble through the pole vault before accidentally swallowing a super-vitamin in the infirmary. Suddenly super-charged, he attempts the hammer throw with wild energy—only to lose his strength at the most awkward moment.
In "A-Haunting We Will Go!" from The Kilroys #48, Mr. Kilroy and his teen companion Natch set off for a country estate auction—only to take a wrong turn and stumble upon a crumbling house for sale, right next to a suspiciously active asylum. The absurdity of the situation kicks into high gear as the duo confronts the bizarre property with more curiosity than caution.
In "Lend Me Your Pencil!" from The Kilroys #48, Jackson’s reckless joyride in Natch’s car takes a disastrous turn when a passing glance at a pretty girl sends them careening into the statue of General E. Lectric in the park—leaving a mess both literal and legal.
