K-O Komics #1 is an anthology featuring multiple stories. "Invisible Men" follows a blue-costumed hero who battles Professor Evil and his invisible men henchmen, defeating them through combat and fire. A humorous story titled "Juggler" involves a store owner who discovers a con artist juggler is actually a jerk posing as the real Juggler, leading to comic complications involving million-dollar purchases. Another tale features a woman stranded in the desert after encountering a gas station attendant, only to be rescued by costumed heroes who discover the attendant was a criminal accomplice attempting to stall her until police could be avoided.

Professor Evil
12 pp · Superhero
Duke of Darkness [Paddy Sullivan] (first appearance)

When the earthbound spirit of Officer Paddy Sullivan transforms into the Duke of Darkness, he's eager to continue his crime-fighting work from beyond the grave—only to find his efforts constantly thwarted by police who won't believe what they're seeing. But a far more sinister threat emerges when Professor Evil, a warped scientist who's also crossed into the spectral realm, begins orchestrating prison breaks and assembling a criminal empire with powers that rival the Duke's own. As these two unseen forces clash across the city, the police remain caught between them, unaware that the real battle is being waged by the very dead they've buried.

Ostriches
1 pp
Whales
1 pp · Humor

Prof. Jabberwacky takes his students on a hilariously misguided lesson about whales, spinning tall tales about plumbers fixing leaks and high-class cetaceans with running water. It's pure nonsense dressed up as education—exactly the kind of absurd humor you'd expect from a 1945 comic that treats facts as optional.

Time Will Tell
7 pp
Magnificent Epod (first appearance)
Untitled story
9 pp
The Menace [Dennis Temple] (first appearance)
