World's Finest Comics #36

When Lois Lane falls into a mysterious sleeping coma, Superman springs into action—only to be sent on a series of impossible quests to find rare ingredients for her "cure." But behind the curtain of this dramatic ruse lies a struggling playwright, using an ancient curse as a stage for his greatest performance. With Perry White and Dr. Vilodnya caught in the web, Superman must navigate a mystery that blurs reality and illusion.

In a whimsical twist of time and mischief, Doc and Fatty find themselves whisked back to Victorian London after a stumble with a mysterious time-typer. When Fatty’s thirst leads him to a strange potion, he transforms into a mustache-snipping menace with a surprisingly tidy streak—collecting a hundred, then a thousand victims, all for the sake of a perfectly trimmed upper lip. Just as the mob closes in, they barely escape back to the present, leaving Robert Louis Stevenson with a spark of inspiration for his next tale.

When young millionaire Dudley Perkins’ yacht catches fire, the Boy Commandos and Captain Rip Carter race to save him—only to discover he’s not the only one who’s survived the unthinkable. Invited to join The Legion of Death-Cheaters, a secret society of men who’ve cheated death, they hear chilling tales from members like Nevada Jim Craley, Arthur L. Berry, and Canby. As the meeting unfolds, Rip Carter shares a daring mission with the Commandos—flying through enemy fire to destroy a Nazi Buzz Bomb nest over Pas de Calais.

When the annual Hobby World's Fair kicks off on Hobby Island, Green Arrow and Speedy arrive under civilian guise, ready to showcase their arrowhead collection—only to find the island tightly secured with fluoroscope screenings. With their usual weapons banned and a masked villain named Mr. Gadget slipping in a concealed gun, the duo must improvise, turning everyday objects into tools of justice.
