Stories and art by Otto Binder, Jack Binder, Pierce Rice, James Wilcox, and Ken Battefield. A Fawcett anthology with an emphasis on superhero adventure. Mr. Scarlet, nicknamed "the Crimson Knight," meets three of his greatest foes in quick succession, including: Dr. Death, whose strange musical compositions bring death to those who play them; The Ghost, a living skeleton out of the Scooby-Doo school of villainy; and jewel thief the Horned Hood, who looks like a bad Batman knockoff (though Bats was only a year old himself at the time). All three were future members of the "Death Battalion" (as well as Jon Morris's 2013 book The Legion of Regrettable Supervillains). Atomic-powered superkid Atom Blake reveals his latest superpower - splitting into two identical Atom Blakes - before flying off to Mercury in search of his father, and being captured by Mercury's gigantic insects. Wealthy playboy Allan Lanier is so inspired by the film Hunchback of Notre Dame, that he dresses as the Hunchback to fight crime, surely one of the stranger superhero identities. Mr. Scarlet: Melodious Death; Mr. Scarlet Meets the Ghost; Mr. Scarlet: The Horned Hood; Atom Blake: The Worlds of Time, Part 1; Jim Dolan; The Man Who Forgot; Rick O'Shay; Hunchback: The Underworld Trembles. 64 pages, Full Color.
