Blue Bolt has adventures while flying for Glimpses, a photography magazine. Years after his superhero identity and electrical powers were forgotten, Blue Bolt's colorful name is retconned to Fred "Blue" Bolt, a nickname explained in a new story that makes him an ex-circus performer. A modern-day pirate matches wits with two-fisted aviator Rick Richards and Canadian Mountie Hugh Fort. Edison Bell and Jerry follow a runaway monkey and fall into a water tower, but luckily, Edison has his conch horn. Edison Bell tells young readers how to make a conch horn, just like in Lord of the Flies.
