PAGE 1:
(Panel) 1: Open on a heavy traffic jam. Cars are lined up bumper to bumper, and the drivers (the ones we can make out, at least) are furious. What we can see of the roadside shows a number of trees, behind which are stores.
SFX1: HONK!
SFX2: HOOONK!!
SFX3: HOOOOONK!!!
RADIO: This traffic report is brought to you by Clown Cuisine, home of the one and only Fried Laughing Fish.
RADIO2: It's a busy Monday morning here in San Disco, and the streets are packed! We've got a fender-bender on 18th St. that's making a bottle-neck--

PAGE 1: Four large, horizontal panels down the page. Each one is layered so that it's all pieces of the same image, leading down a path. The whole picture won't be there, but there will be enough details to make it clear: something terrible has happened.
(Panel)1. Top of the page, we have a silhouette illuminated by flames in the background. Though we won't get a good shot of it now, this is the new version of the ULTRA-HUMANITE. He will appear hulking and massive, beyond anything human. Winged monstrosities can be spotted in the sky above him, and rubble surrounds him. When the UH speaks, his voice rumbles, which co

RED TORNADO in PERIL OF THE PENNY PLUNDERER
Suddenly, a shriek pierced the quiet night!
"Help! Somebody, anybody, help!"
At a corner store of no repute, an old shopkeeper wailed for aid. Nearby neighbors came to see what the matter was, followed almost immediately by the police. The officers waded through the anxious crowd to get to the distraught shopkeeper.
"Mrs. Lamb, what's wrong?" asked one of the officers. "Another break-in?"
"Oh, yes!" the old lady cried.
"That's three in the past month alone!" another officer remarked.
"What did they steal, Mrs. Lamb?"
"My money! They took all the mo

THE TIGRESS in THE $200,000 HEIST
It was a cold, wet night, the kind that sends animals scurrying for the warmth and safety of their homes. For some, there are holes, caves, and nests; for others, houses and apartments. But there are some establishments open to protect from the chill of March, ones that require a bit of searching and know-how to enter. If one can find them and if one knows how to get in, they can find themselves inside speakeasies and secret saloons, like New York's Apollo Lounge. And those who found themselves in the lounge that night were treated to dinner, drink, music, and a show, for no one could have anticipated

WILDFIRE in BIRTH BY PYRE
The god of flames gazed upon his work and saw that it was good. All about him the once green, verdant forest was lit in a radiant blaze; each step he took seeded the ground with embers. He smiled at the sight of mighty trees, trees that had grown for over a century, collapsed and released a swarm of ashes and sparks into the night. An unearthly chuckle drifted past his lips when he thought of what the Parliament would do to him when they saw the death of so much vegetation. Fhlorah, their creator and the goddess of the forests, would certainly be angry, but that had never stopped Fernas from enjoying himself bef

THE CRIMSON AVENGER in QUI VINDICET IBIT
Lee Travis had lived his life thinking the world to be black and white; two parallels that complimented each other. The night cooled the world after the sun set and the ocean needed the sky to make rain so it may fill with water. And for every good deed, there must be a wicked one so that people may understand what is right. There must be a villain so that the hero may have a reason for being.
All his life, he had lived as a hero. When he was a child, he fought off the bullies who preyed on the weak and helpless. When he was in school, he won games so that he might bring honor and pride to his s

THE SPIRIT in THE GHOST OF CENTRAL CITY
It was a dark and foggy night, the perfect night for mischief of the criminal sort. The police were out and about to keep the peace but even they could not catch every little crime committed in the dense cover. In fact, a patrolman walking the beat by 27th and Eisner did not see three young boys climbing over the gates of Wildwood Cemetery. By the time he had gone to the gates to check for who was rattling them, the culprits were long gone, lost in the maze of tombstones and statues.
The boys, Michael and Ronnie O'Donald and Len Weisman, should have been at ho
