| * When a drifter discovers a gun containing a magic bullet, and it is absorbed into his skin, he becomes a giant monster nicknamed Bright-Eyes because of the light emanating from his eyes. When he attacks the people of Gateway City, the Spectre tries to stop him but only ends up terrifying the populace as his powers are strangely drained away. Ordered to bring the Spectre in for being a public menace, Detective-Captain Jim Corrigan is present when the Spectre finally defeats Bright-Eyes, returning him to normal. Then the Psycho-Pirate reveals that he was behind the public panic over the Spectre, and tells them that, thanks to a magic globe stolen from a hermit in Northern India, he has been draining the Spectre's powers in order to get rid of the magic mask Doctor Fate placed on him to nullify his powers. Now free, Psycho-Pirate tells the drifter to kill Corrigan, only for the drifter to go crazy and attack the villain, since the drifter turns out to be Gat Benson, the same man who murdered Corrigan in 1940. An enraged Corrigan knocks them both out and revives the Spectre before taking the criminals to jail. ["The Spectre Means Death?"
