Hit Comics #48
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeHit Comics #48 is an anthology featuring two stories. "Kid Eternity Discovers a Treasure Chest of Trouble" presents the titular character encountering a mysterious and menacing blue-faced villain. "Her Highness" follows a woman seeking advice from a advice columnist on how to escape jail, which leads her to visit a nosy district attorney at his office; the story involves a dental-related scheme with nitrous oxide gas used to incapacitate the attorney so he can be tied up in a chair.
Kid Eternity investigates when two men claiming descent from the legendary pirate Sir Henry Morgan both seek the old buccaneer's hidden fortune—but Sir Henry himself won't reveal which heir deserves the treasure, leaving the Wonder Boy to sort out the truth for himself. As Garry Morgan and the sneering Diggory Morgan battle over the legacy, Kid Eternity calls on great minds from history to settle the dispute, only to find that even Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun can't agree on matters of law and justice. With the truth still murky and the fight far from over, Kid Eternity discovers that some mysteries demand more than just summoning the past.
When Betty Bates, the lady district attorney, stumbles into a late-night dentist's office with a genuine toothache, she walks straight into a trap set by "Pearly" Harris—a traveling crook she's been chasing—and his accomplice Dr. Angler, who's hidden stolen pearls inside false teeth. Bates must use her wits and the office itself as weapons to turn the tables on the criminals before they can silence her for good. A clever tale of crime, deception, and how a cavity can lead to much bigger trouble.
Marine Bob Masters and sailor Swab Decker spot a charming woman in port and flip a coin to see who gets shore leave with her—but their romantic plans take a sharp turn when she asks them to help her with car trouble. What starts as a simple favor spirals into mistaken identity, stolen car accusations, and a garage full of surprises that'll teach these two sailors a lesson about assuming things are what they seem.
