Cover by Jack Binder. Stories and art by Bill Parker, Ed Smalle and Sven Elven. Nickel Comics was an experiment by Fawcett - half as thick as their typical comics, costing half as much, and coming out twice as often. The experiment didn't last, but the star character did; "police scientist" Jim Barr creates a bullet-shaped helmet that grants him flight and makes him bulletproof, and the superhero Bulletman is born. Rescued from Africa in infancy, Bill returns as a man to find his long-lost brother Steve; the reunited brothers become known as the Jungle Twins. Aided by his raven Hugin and his Golden Hand of Abraxas, Warlock the Wizard fights to save a young woman from the vampire Baron Gath. Bulletman; Jungle Twins; The Pacing Ghost; Warlock the Wizard . 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.05.
