Lance Hale (originally by John Hampton) begins his career in Silver Streak Comics #2 (January 1940). In the jungle, the tall redhead is captured by natives and taken to a white scientist who increases his amazing strength with an armband that contains a special metal. With this armlet, Lance now has super-human strength, tearing up trees and killing a leopard with one punch. The scientist prepares Lance for his great experiment, which is a rocket to take the two to a distant planet.
Silver Streak Comics #3 (March 1940) sees the rocket arrive in Spirit-Land (what planet was that?) where the evil King Loti rules over strange beast-men. Dr. Grey (who now has a name) and Lance make their escape back to Earth along with the inevitable scientist’s daughter, Myra, only to find the Spirit-men invading the planet. Cliffhanger alert! And boy, are you in for a wait! Seventy-six years later, the conclusion to this story is still MIA.
