The Atom & Hawkman 1968 #43 - reader copy - $2.00
In early 19th century England, the highwayman known as Gentleman Jim Craddock is executed for his crimes, but he vows to return and resume his criminal career. When an apparent ghostly bandit surfaces in Europe, the Hawks travel to London where they meet the Gentleman Ghost. However, while matching wits with him they disagree on whether he is truly a ghost, or a man pretending to be one.
The Atom investigates a strange buzzing sound that causes people to briefly lose their memory, and discovers the bizarre faculty rivalry at Ivy Town University that's behind the sonic attacks.
