This issue features "Jill Trent—Science Sleuth," in which Jill's newest invention creates trouble when she and her friend Daisy investigate "The Black Sheep Murder!" The story depicts Bill Norris working on a thesis as the old Folmar house catches fire, with armed men attempting to reach the building's owner and a mysterious figure emerging from the flames. In another sequence, a blue-suited hero seizes a Japanese gun during combat, then travels to a futuristic setting where he encounters aliens and awakens in what appears to be an underground dungeon, discovering he is trapped in one of Futuria's ancient tyrant prisons.

As police arrest a suspicious suspect, Jill's instincts tell her something doesn't add up, and she sets out to prove the real killer is still at large.

When an elderly inventor suffers a series of devastating "accidents" that leave him crippled and grieving, Bill Norris—the Grim Reaper—suspects foul play and infiltrates a mysterious island facility to uncover the truth.

Can the masked avenger dismantle the scheme and restore what was lost?

Now Devens must navigate a bewildering maze of imposters and false accusations to expose Hakura's treachery before the peaceful people of tomorrow fall under tyranny.
