"The Origin of the Vigilante," script by Mort Weisinger, art by Mort Meskin. Fron the electric chair, Killer Kelly tells Vigilante that he will come back from the grave; actually he has bribed the prison doctor to lower the voltage. When he learns that Killer Kelly is alive, rodeo man Greg Sanders dons the costume of the Vigilante and heads to confront the convicted murderer. Reprinted from Action Comics #42.
"The Origin of Kid Eternity," script by Otto Binder, art by Sheldon Moldoff. During World War II, a boy and his grandfather are torpedoed in their boat by a Nazi sub and killed, but when the lad reaches the Pearly Gates, his name is not on the list to die. So, Mr. Keeper, who was responsible, claps his hands allowing a ray of light to strike the corpse, bringing the boy back to life, now endowed with great powers. By speaking the word "eternity", the boy can call upon any historical person who once lived to aid him in any given situation. Reprinted from Hit Comics #25.
