Bang-Up Comics #2
In the rain-slicked streets of 1942, college student Mary takes a quiet drive home—until a drunken old man, fleeing from the Loather Home, warns her of six fatal accidents there. Drawn in by his desperate plea, she dons her secret identity as Lady Fairplay, launching a mystery that uncovers a sinister scheme behind the deaths. Penciled and inked by Jack Ryan, with a moody, rain-drenched cover by Leonard Dworkins, this Bang-Up Comics #2 is a standout in the early superhero genre.
