The main story, "Atoman and the Vanishing Vandals," follows Atoman as he investigates a memo from a character named Prestos about a diamond exchange at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street and a money theft at the Bowery. A well-dressed villain in a top hat appears to be orchestrating a scheme involving stolen gems and money, with Atoman working to stop the criminal operation. The issue also features a comedic backup story called "Skatter," in which a cat and mouse engage in slapstick antics involving food, with the cat chasing the mouse through various situations involving cheese and other provisions.

The Vanishing Vandals
15 pp · Superhero

When a uranium-powered superhero named Atoman confronts a master magician-turned-jewel thief called Presto, he discovers that the showman's misdirection extends far beyond the stage—the magician is orchestrating elaborate heists that exploit public distraction and chaos. As Barry Dale juggles his dual identities as an atomic energy lecturer and costumed champion, he must contend with Presto's escalating scheme while reconnecting with Nikki Stuart, a criminology student who's evolved from society girl into an aspiring detective. The stage is set for a battle of wits between raw atomic power and cunning illusion.

Riddle of the Range

When Kay, host of the radio program "Breakfast with Kay," hears a troubled young woman's story about a mysterious cake recipe left to her by her late father—and a fortune that seems to hinge on solving its riddle—she decides to turn the mystery into on-air drama. But when things take a dangerous turn during the broadcast, Kay must transform into Magga to investigate the recipe's true purpose and uncover why someone is so desperate to keep its secret hidden. A journey to a remote valley town sets Magga on the trail of a double-crossing associate and a peculiar connection to a bird that may be the key to everything.

The Case of the Soap Opera Medium
5 pp

Sam Stupor, the wisecracking detective with a nose for trouble, takes on a case that starts with a radio soap opera enthusiast who can't hear his program's endings—only to discover the real culprit: a fake medium running a séance scam that's broadcasting on the wrong radio frequency and scrambling local reception. When Sam crashes the séance and accidentally triggers the medium's rigged "spirit box," chaos erupts, but our zoot-suited sleuth has a knack for turning mayhem into justice, even if his fee collection proves more complicated than the case itself.

Zero For Mr. Circles

Detective Johnny Mason tackles a baffling case involving Flashy Filbert's mysterious hijacking operation three thousand miles away in Lira—a scheme that circles back to the notorious gangland figure Mr. Circles and his supposed reformation in the printing business. When Mason, his partner Herman Ajax, and the Commissioner's daughter Nancy investigate, they uncover a sinister plot involving forged documents and black-market goods that forces Mason to think fast and shoot faster to save Nancy and crack the case wide open.
