Killers #2
Based on the visible pages, this issue contains at least two stories. The first follows Mr. Rice and other characters investigating a murder, with a man's body discovered and fingerprints checked at the city morgue, leading to a peddler named Hoppy Harry; Ben is then called to a morgue to examine a warm body, and later at his apartment discovers a mysterious camphor-smelling substance that he plans to take to a drug store for identification. The second story, "Drums of the Jungle," is set in South Africa where Wahili warriors under the command of the Mask of Mabu Bhu engage in tribal warfare; the narrative follows the witch-doctor's sights and a conflict involving Chief Naka-Naka, with warriors pursuing and killing enemies in the jungle.
