In "Reincarnation of a Rogue!" from Adventure Comics #94 (1944), Ape Larson—fleeing both the police and the mysterious Sandman—digs into a book on reincarnation at the library, sparking a wild theory: if he’s not the same man he was before, maybe anyone on the street could be his long-lost brother. Panicked and desperate, he’s ready to confess where he hid the stolen gems, convinced the Sandman might turn him into a monkey if he doesn’t.
When a meteor shower lights up the night, Blackie Kohl sees his chance to pull off a daring heist at the Allie Bammer estate, tricking his gang into thinking the stars themselves are on their side. But the Astral Avenger has other plans, turning the sky’s spectacle into a dazzling lesson in justice.
