The Spirit 1974 #2 - back issue - $9.00

Fog laid heavy over Central City ... heavy as the hearts that dwelt therein. Elections were over, a heel had won. And something in the air smelled fishy!

Her name was Powder, and like her namesake, she was deadly and explosive ... ready to entrap anyone in her treacherous web of crime. Even The Spirit!

Bleak had served his sentence. Now he was free ... free to rush into the arms of his childhood sweetheart. He didn't know that she was as crooked as he!

There's a tale of a man with a blow, mighty enough to lay The Spirit low! But how and why could this be, when Merry Andrew was only five foot three?

Mortimer was a janitor. And he had a big secret. He claimed he could build a bomb capable of destroying the world. And he would have a blast!

They say there's a treasure in the haunted O'Dolan house ... a treasure guarded by ghosts! But they don't say how many Spirits prowl the decrepit manse!

Down from the sky it floated ... straight into the Central City junkyard. Out came a strange little man, in search of an aspiring actor. An actor who claimed he saw men from Mars!

The Spirit had two choices. He could die from the poison raking his body ... or pay for the antidote within his reach, by marrying Silken Floss!
