Kid EternityMr. KeeperJoe GrimmZorroPorthosThe Brute (villain, introduction)

When a record-keeping error in Eternity reveals that pharmacist Vincent Rogers is scheduled to die fifty years before his time, Kid Eternity and Mr. Keeper descend to Earth to investigate—only to discover the young man caught between a ruthless racket boss called the Brute and a dangerous smuggling operation. As Rogers stumbles onto evidence of hijacked alcohol being funneled through the All Best drugstore chain, Kid Eternity must summon allies from history to keep him alive long enough to expose the truth.

Fountain of Youth
5 pp · humor
Her HighnessSilk

When Her Highness and Silk stumble upon a grand estate with a fountain, they hatch a scheme to pose as the operators of a magical "Fountain of Youth," hawking bottled water to gullible townspeople who pay handsomely for the promise of restored youth. Their con runs surprisingly well until the authorities close in and they're confronted by the estate's actual owner—a famous author whose whole brand is the opposite of what they're selling. A 1948 humor story that turns a classic legend into a quick con artist caper, complete with all the comeuppance you'd expect.
