   * A huge criminal gang led by "Skullface" Kurd carries out a planned terror assault on New York City, causing explosions in the subway system and dropping bombs on the streets and bridges using planes. The gang then begins slaughtering the police and rescue teams, but Stardust the Super-Wizard prevents the slaughter of any more, disintegrating the bombers and bringing the entire NYPD out of harm's reach. Stardust then captures the entire "Skullface" Kurd gang and takes them all to a distant planet full of gold and precious gems, where the gravity is too great for them to do anything with this mineral wealth. //Note: It is probable that patrolman Dan Garret (the Blue Beetle) is among the NYPD officers saved by Stardust. Possibly the first team-up of the Big Three occurs as a result of this story. Although this is not explained in the story, "Skullface" Kurd is most likely acting under the direction of a foreign power, such as Germany or Japan, which is somehow able to supply Kurd with the resources required for his assault.// [Fantastic Comics #11]   * A huge criminal gang led by "Skullface" Kurd carries out a planned terror assault on New York City, causing explosions in the subway system and dropping bombs on the streets and bridges using planes.

-  * The Blue Beetle meets [[Joan Mason]], reporter. [Mystery Men Comics #15]+  * The Blue Beetle begins regularly working alongside [[Joan Mason]], reporter for the //New York Chronicle// (later for the //Daily Star//). //Note: Since Joan Mason is already known to Blue Beetle in this story, it is possible that the Blue Beetle actually met Joan Mason in an earlier story featuring an unnamed kidnapped female reporter with strawberry blonde hair as seen in the 6th story (about an arson ring) in Blue Beetle #2 (May, 1940). Joan Mason is depicted as a blonde in this story.// [Mystery Men Comics #15]
   * K-51 begins using special vitamins that make him super-strong or increase his mental powers and hearing. //Note: The vitamins K-51 uses are probably very similar to Vitamin 2X, invented by Dr. Abe Franz and used by the Blue Beetle. It is possible that K-51 began using these vitamins in the previous story or even earlier.// [Wonderworld Comics #18]   * K-51 begins using special vitamins that make him super-strong or increase his mental powers and hearing. //Note: The vitamins K-51 uses are probably very similar to Vitamin 2X, invented by Dr. Abe Franz and used by the Blue Beetle.

   * The Sorceress of Zoom briefly travels through time to the 6th century of Camelot, where she meets Sir Gareth and outwits the sorceress Morgana Le Fay, only to be outwitted herself by the wizard Merlin, who sends her back to her own time.

-  * Rocket Kelly meets his arch-nemesis, [[Diablo]] the master of evil, who seeks to rule outer space. [Rocket Kelly (1944)]+  * Rocket Kelly meets his arch-nemesis [[Diablo]] the master of evil, who seeks to rule outer space. While saving the mystical Flame of Democracy, Kelly becomes the new Keeper of the Flame after the old Keeper -- a man of ancient Rome -- dies. //Note: The home of the Flame of Democracy is apparently a small planetoid with an artificial gravity field that looks much like Earth on its surface. It seems to exist in real space, despite the fact that the Flame of Democracy is also a symbolic concept. It is probable that the home of the Flame only exists in physical space whenever the Keeper of the Flame is replaced.// [Rocket Kelly (1944)]
