Written by Harry Shorten and illustrated by Warren King, this 1941 adventure from Top Notch Comics #16 blends pulp mystery with fantastical danger. The cover, by Al Camy, captures the eerie glow of the flame bird against the desert night.
In a tense wartime tale from 1941, photographer Fran Frazer and reporter Hal Davis rescue a British Secret Service agent from the sea, uncovering a dangerous plot: the Nazis plan to sabotage an English wheat shipment bound for Spain. With General Francisco Franco looming as a shadowy figure in the background, the duo must race to expose the conspiracy before the cargo is destroyed.
When a legendary vein of gold is said to lie hidden in a Southwest cave, guarded by a monstrous bird of flame, the race to uncover it brings together the daring Joan Burton, the enigmatic Prof. Lenz, and the fiery hero The Firefly — whose own past may hold the key to the mystery.
