Where the overgrown hulks of size and strength may blunder...
Secretly, both Darrel and Martha wish to partner up in the tiny mite's adventures, and, somehow, the simultaneous wishing unlocks a shared super-power which shrinks both of them. Both of them read a news article about three members of the Bramber family dying mysteriously in the garden of their ancestral home, and decide to investigate.

This is Mort Leav, with his large hands, lively figures and a special crouching way of running, with thighs lifted high. Dobrotka samples from Superman in Action Comics #69 have no resemblance to these Rusty Ryan stories. Both Mort Leav and Ed Dobrotka, are credited on this feature, but all credited to Dobrotka have to be by Mort Leav.
