- Quicksilver [Max]; The Man from the Moon [Moony Masters] (villain, introduction)
- Synopsis
- Quicksilver follows a villain who operates from a flying mansion, wears a bulletproof aluminum vest and helmet, with a weird-looking mask. Once Quicksilver gains entrance to this flying lair, it's curtains for the Man from the Moon.
Originally credited to Dan Zolnerowich. The pointed faces with eyes far apart and flying perons are all the trademark of Peter Riss.
It's interesting that Moony, on page 2 of the story, uttered a remark very similar to what Bruce Wayne did when he adopted the Batman identity from a bat flying through his mansion window. Moony states: "Moony, the Man From the Moon! That's what I'll be! I'll invade their stuffy coops by night, like a creature from a different planet!"

The art is identical to Kirkpatrick's work on several Sally O'Neil stories in National Comics and Hack O'Hara in Crack Comics. Many faces in profile popping in from the sides, bony noses in front view, very wide trouser legs, and also rather still standing figures.
