  • Circa 1938-April: The Black X has captured Baron Basil, but Basil escapes, leaving behind some incriminating documents, that will expose a foreign spy. Black X has to make it from New York to Washington with the evidence, before Basil's numerous tireless enemy agents catch up with him, in a fast-paced cross-country passenger-train chase, aboard the Washington Special. Towards the end, Black X eludes two badguys by the "Richard Stanton method," that is, he dresses up like a very dapper old lady, chats them up, and leaves them, with an insulting note pinned to one's coat.
  • Brian O'Brien visits the 1939 World's Fair and immediately runs into trouble. He manages to stop the Boss and Chick without ever donning his black silk mask.
Notes
  • * First issue under new title of "Feature Comics". * "Pursued by Baron Basil" ** Baron Basil starts the story tied to a chair, but he's loose from that before the first page is over, and that's the last we see of him, for now. ** Baron Basil looks exactly like Basil Taneo , he's thin but jowly and has an almost-handlebar mustache.
quotation
  • The U.S. Government has been after you and your gang a long time, Baron Basil. America has no place for your theories. I advise you to leave the country!
