In "The Fabulous Jewel of Morn," Bill Norris finds himself in Eastport not just to speak on a bond issue, but to confront the Chameleon, a villain whose sabotage threatens the city’s very foundation. With art by Al Camy and a striking cover by Alex Schomburg, this 1948 Wonder Comics tale unfolds as a mystery of embezzlement and deception, where the true motive behind the chaos lies buried in the city’s treasury.
