    Stories and art by Pete Riss and John Martin. Mike Barnett, who did not carry a gun, was one of the first private-eye heroes on the brand-new medium of television. Baseball fans sometimes yell "kill the umpire," but when someone actually does it, Mike learns the umpire was up to some shady business. A search for counterfeit coins in the slums of Cairo leads Mike to the sinister, fez-wearing crimelord Dr. Dionysos. But the secret lies in finding the gold Dionysos is using to make his copies. Like many great private eyes, Mike narrates his stories in first-person. Kill the Umpire!; Doc Sorebones; Color Blind; The Mint of Dr. Dionysos; Colonel Corn and Korny Kobb: College Cutups; Dizzy Daisy. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
