Spark Man Comics #1

When the editor of Spark Man Comics receives an unexpected midnight visit from the masked vigilante himself, he's handed permission to publish the hero's adventures—and in this opening tale, a masquerade at Val Hall's mansion becomes the scene of a shocking crime. A figure claiming to be the Spark Man arrives to rob the assembled guests, but the real Spark Man [Omar Kavan] appears to confront the imposter and prove his identity. The mystery deepens as two masked figures face off, each insisting the other is a fraud.

In "Mayhem at the Masquerade," Val Hall’s glamorous costume party spirals into chaos when a fake Spark Man storms the event, demanding valuables—only to be swiftly taken down by the real hero. As tensions rise, Spark Man is drawn into a deeper mystery when Dr. Dryden abducts Miss Mason, leading to a tense pursuit through a hidden cemetery arsenal where Dryden plans to build a Fifth Column army.

When a series of murders grips the city—each victim lured by a haunting melody and struck down by a gold crow-emblazoned knife—the police are baffled. Omar Kavak, a renowned violinist, finds himself drawn into the mystery when the killer's eerie song reaches his ears and a warning blade narrowly misses him. As the Spark Man, Kavak infiltrates a twisted cult ceremony to uncover the truth behind the so-called Goddess of Death and her eccentric composer, Merle Poole.
