to whip Memín. Memín jumps out the window and hides on the

sighting around the school, and with a sheet and some
stilts he scares the guards enough to make his escape.

visits Carlos's mother at the Red Cross hospital and brings
her up to date on her son's situation. Carlos's mother
brings up the fact that Carlos's father is rich and
powerful. Since he has never taken the trouble to even ask

Mastermind. -- Summary: In central Africa (also called
"darkest Africa" here) a big game hunter comes upon
"natives" being driven from their villages by apes with
firebrands. Captain Marvel checks it out, and indeed the
apes are occupying human villages and using human weapons.
Captain Marvel assumes a human trainer is behind this
behavior. The apes can't talk. Monkeys and chimpanzees are
also acting this way. Captain Marvel next finds a band of
white men with firebrands chasing black people, and the men
tell him how to find their boss, whom they've never seen.
The "ape mastermind" catches and gags Billy Batson, and
explains himself. He was born extra intelligent, and knows
both human speech and ape language. He plans to conquer
Africa, then the world, because "humans have ruled Earth
too long!" The ape is about to throw Billy into a fire,
when the human henchmen arrive, curious to see what their
boss is like. One of them says, "We aren't low enough to
turn traitor to the human race by helping apes! It was all
a mistake!" The ape is put in a cage to be studied by
scientists for the rest of his "natural life." -- Data from

weapon are in his umbrella, which Snowy has been keeping

Schwartz. 8 p. in Superman, no. 408 (June 1985) -- Summary
(by Mary Walker): Superman finds a large intergenerational
ship with a war raging on board most of the vessel while
the control center seems at peace. He finds that the
navigational caste has no idea of what is going on in the
rest of the ship and little contact except in emergencies.
Superman then goes to the main areas of the ship to stop
the war. The combatants stop long enough to explain that
they have "divided into nations according to our various
races and religions. Differences inevitably lead to
conflict!" and then resume their fighting. He wishes they
could be persuaded to work together as they did in building
the ship in the first place--that thought gives him an
idea. He sends the ship to a suitable, uninhabited planet
and they disembark taking their personal belongings and the
useful machinery but leaving the weapons behind. A pleased
Superman looks on at the aliens who have put violence and
hate aside to make a new civilization. -- Call no.:
