The Coming of the Creeper!!

Story featuring The Creeper

Storyline: Professor Yatz is kidnapped by "Reds". Jack Ryder, mouthy TV host, is fired, then hired as a security investigator. He buys odds and ends for a bizarre costume for mob boss Angel Devilin’s society ball. He's stabbed and enters Yatz’s cell, locking the door behind him. Yatz hides his inventions: a molecular transmitter goes in the wound, and a healing serum in his veins. But Yatz is shot dead. The new "Creeper" goes wild on the villains - and accidentally, cops - laughing like a maniac to scare them. He exposes Devilin, then learns the moleculizer has healed inside. The Creeper will be back.

Storyline: Bios of Steve Ditko and Don Segall, although Ditko refrained from providing personal information, explaining: "I never talk about myself. My work is me. I do my best, and if I like it, I hope somebody else likes it too." The editor also requests letters for future publication. The piece is uncredited but from the editor’s note is most certainly written by Boltinoff.
