Hit Comics #59
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeKid Eternity battles tomorrow's crimes today in two stories: one involving a magical bat that summons Lou Gehrig, the legendary baseball player, to help a young boy, and another in which Betty Bates and her trainer investigate the disappearance of a racehorse named La-Phar, with the trainer planning to track down information about the missing thoroughbred from Eddie Narvo, a jockey who raced overseas.
Kid Eternity and Mr. Keeper discover that a future newspaper has mysteriously fallen to Earth, landing in the hands of a destitute man who uses its knowledge of tomorrow's crimes to gain the attention of the Baron, a ruthless criminal mastermind. When the Baron and his new informant move to hijack a diamond-laden ship, Kid Eternity must spring into action to save the passengers and stop the scheme before the predicted tragedy unfolds.
Two Navy sailors, Bob and Swab, arrive at a port and immediately find themselves competing over a beautiful local girl named Sigareet—but she's got her own agenda, leading them into a cargo heist that puts them squarely in the Shore Patrol's sights. When the scheme unravels and the law closes in, the pair discover the hard way that the captain's warning about the port's dangerous women came with good reason.
Betty Bates, fearless district attorney, investigates the theft of a prized thoroughbred named La-Phar at the racetrack—only to find herself tangled in a murder when a key witness is gunned down before he can talk. As Betty pieces together clues from racing entries and the jockey's final moments, she discovers that nothing about this case is quite what it seems.
