When a mysterious figure known as Mr. Lunar is released from prison after serving his sentence, Dan Garret—the Blue Beetle—finds himself racing against time to protect Judge Smith, the District Attorney, and Mrs. True, the witness who testified against him. As masked madmen terrorize the city in a chemical-induced frenzy, the Blue Beetle uncovers a sinister plot centered on Carnival Park, where Mr. Lunar's true vengeance is about to unfold. With Officer Mike Mannigan and his colleague Joan at his side, the Blue Beetle must stop the villain before his twisted plan reaches its deadly climax.

Joan MasonOfficer Mike ManniganMcPherson (editor)Spider Spaulding (gang leader)SpikeDennis

Joan Mason quits her reporter job in frustration over a tough assignment, only to stumble into a classified ad that leads her straight into a criminal scheme. When a casual evening out with a friend uncovers the gang leader behind the racket, Joan finds herself at the center of the story she'd been chasing all along—and the one that might just win her way back to the newsroom.

The Man Who Stole 24 Hours

Blue Beetle [Dan Garret]Joan MasonOfficer Mike ManniganProfessor Zezo

When Professor Zezo's time machine spins out of control at a public demonstration, it steals 24 hours from the calendar—and Dan Garret finds himself transformed into Blue Beetle in a chaotic world where yesterday never happened and tomorrow is now today. As the city descends into impossible crises (wet cement that won't harden, a half-finished ship launching itself, a runaway parade balloon), Blue Beetle races to contain the chaos while Officer Mike Mannigan and Joan Mason find themselves caught in the middle of a gangster plot that may only be resolved once the Professor recovers the missing day. With each moment that passes, the line between when things should have happened and what's actually happening grows more dangerous.
