Kid Eternity #5 (1947)

In "null," the Kid encounters an old man who claims to have flown decades before the Wright Brothers—riding a steam-powered plane he built himself—only to crash-land on a hidden mesa teeming with cave men and dinosaurs. The story unfolds as a surreal journey into a forgotten world, where time and invention blur in unexpected ways.

In "Sunken Treasure," photographer Snap Shotz dives into the deep to document a sunken ship carrying lost gold bullion, unaware that rival salvage companies are secretly using disguised submarines—camouflaged as a swordfish and an octopus—to sabotage the recovery. Kid Eternity, tracking the chaos from above, uses quick thinking and a flashbulb to expose the underwater ruse, turning the sabotage into a sensational story.

In "Another Who Died Too Soon," Dan Doldrum’s despair draws the attention of Kid Eternity, who refuses to let him end his life—only to stir up trouble when he takes advice from the ghost of John Jacob Astor. Suddenly, every business man in town seems determined to silence Dan, turning his moment of weakness into a deadly game.
