Hack O'Hara

Taxi driver Hack O'Hara picks up an oddly generous sandwich vendor and later finds himself tangled up in a dangerous scheme when a crook tries to retrieve something dropped in his cab—a blueprint that reveals the whole operation is an elaborate front for casing banks. As Hack digs deeper, he discovers the mastermind behind the disguise and finds himself facing down a mobster in a tense basement confrontation. It's a wild ride that proves sometimes the most dangerous passengers aren't the ones you'd expect.

Pen MillerCiro (first appearance, villain)

Pen Miller, a newspaper artist with a knack for detective work, takes on a seemingly impossible case when a thief steals half a million dollars in radium from City Hospital in broad daylight—leaving no fingerprints, no witnesses, and no clues. Using an unexposed X-ray plate and the thief's own radiation exposure, Miller reconstructs the criminal's face and publishes a partial portrait as bait, setting a trap that draws out the desperate thief, Ciro. When Ciro makes a fatal mistake in trying to silence Miller, the artist gets the real scoop—and a confession that no courtroom evidence could have secured.
