In "The Awakening of Spy Smasher," Nazi agents Geyer and Schwink attempt to turn the hero Spy Smasher into a puppet of the War Lord, using the hypnotic power of the Mask’s Brainograph. Though the villainous scheme seems complete, Captain Marvel notices flickers of resistance in Spy Smasher’s eyes—and decides to fight the mind control with sheer will. The battle for the hero’s soul unfolds as the two heroes confront the lingering shadow of the Mask’s influence.
In a tense 1941 showdown, Spy Smasher—his mind restored by Captain Marvel—must fight to break free from Nazi captors who plan to torture him, while Eve Corby and the mysterious Fritz and Heine watch the clock tick down. With the hero’s power and a desperate resolve, the two men prepare to face their enemies side-by-side.
