Bronze Man [Major Randy Ronald]; Judge Buzz Smith (Rand's father); Rand Ronald Smith, Jr.; Bull Gambos (villain); Gambo's gang (villains, all die?)
Randy gets off the train and spots a statue named after him in appreciation for saving the life of the local judge years back, and he visits the courtroom where the judge is sentencing a criminal to prison. While seated there, Randy overhears a threat to the judge's life and tries to follow the plotters, but instead sees the judge's son kidnapped. He discovers that the statue is loaded with explosives, timed to go off during a citizen's committee speech to be given by the judge.

Next appearance in Jo-Jo Comics #7.

Credits added by Craig Delich.

Alec Hope is a pen name for Bronze Man creator/artist, Alvin C. Hollingsworth, and appeared on the strips that Hollingsworth drew (courtesy of the Who's Who).

Despite the text which specifically says Bronze Man wears a "bronze mask" to conceal his "disfigured" face, this story (and the other Bronze Man stories) has been redrawn so the hero does not wear a mask and his face is normal.
