Wonderworld Comics #30

A year after an explorer's death in the Arctic, his ghostly form returns to exact vengeance on a rival—but Dr. Fung and his assistant Dan Barrister soon suspect the apparition is far more solid than supernatural. With a fishing spear as the murder weapon and a houseful of suspects who've all ventured to the frozen north, the detective must uncover who's impersonating the dead man and why, armed only with a cursed diary and a clever bit of mirror work.

Yarko uses his mastery of oriental magic to thwart a criminal plot when he encounters a man fleeing Mike Martin's gang—a ruthless outfit willing to kill to protect their secrets. After a series of magical interventions, Yarko confronts Martin directly at his office and uses his enchantments to expose the villain's theft of a million dollars from the city treasury. With truth and justice on his side, Yarko ensures that Martin and his conspirators face the consequences of their crimes.

Patty O'Day witnesses a hit-and-run accident and becomes suspicious when she spots a man trying to buy a dangerous drug at a local pharmacy—leading her to tail him straight into the lair of a criminal ring.

With quick thinking and a well-placed camera, she gathers evidence and fights back against the gang while her partner Ham closes in on their operation from the outside.
