There, he’s captured by Flatfeet Fogarty and paraded before the tyrannical Super-Judge, who sees him as a laughable Earthling weakling—until Hugh proves his worth by stopping the rampaging Super-Phony, earning the name Impossible Man in the process. A 10-cent comic from 1945, this issue stands out for its imaginative premise and bold, expressive artwork by Bernard Baily.

Hugh Mann considers himself a failure and someone who is afraid of his own shadow......but someone who has brains. He decides to build a rocket ship to Mars and heads out into space. However, upon landing, he discovers that he is on the lost planet Brutus, where he arrested by Flatfeet Fogarty, who takes Hugh to see Super-Judge, who has Hugh packed in cotton and exhibited as a typical weak Earth freak. When Super-Phony barges in, informing Super-Judge that he has robbed the Super-Treasury, Hugh tells the judge he can stop the villain...and does, thus earning the name Impossible Man.
