Fateful Journey
"Now that the Rivers case is closed, what next Mr. Kirby?"
Story Notes
The first page is a new splash page. Newspaper strip reprints. Original indexer credited John Prentice, but Prentice did not begin work on "Rip Kirby" until 1956. Almost certainly Alex Raymond's work.
"Looking for fingers on the hands of a clock."
