Disclose Notes: Originally credited to Irv Novick. The art has much in common with the Shield story, like close up faces with very bushy eyebrows, and ears and figures like a signed Harrison story in Hangman #8. Uncertain, but not Novick.

Dusty's last name "Simmons" removed because it never appears in a comic. Lou Mougin reports that he invented the name in a fan fiction story called "War With the Wizard" and gave Dusty that name just to give him a last name.

Synopsis: A fortune teller and occultist, being used by the Nazis for their own purposes, tells the Wizard's fiancee that he knows Blane's secret, so Jane goes to Blane. Deciding to investigate, Blane and Roy discover that the swami's powers are not as great as the Wizard's, but there is a secret telepath nearby whose abilities are very real and dangerous. The Wizard exposes the spy and he and Roy make short work of them. Blane confronts Jane about the secret, and she tells him that the Swami told her that Blane's middle name was "Dinglebottom."
