The stories

When the Kid summons Thor on a case, and his hammer misses its target, the god was incensed. He later manages his own return, and, with Kid Eternity, together they solved the mystery: his bolt missed the target because of a hidden antenna.

“Free Demonstration Tootin's Miracle Hair Tonic!”

District Attorney Betty Bates catches the wedding bouquet at her friend's wedding indicating she'll be the next to get married. However, a strange, bearded gentleman, seeing the departing couple getting ready to leave, announces that it was a "wedding of death" and intimates that the wedding flowers will bring death. Dick thinks the whole thing revolves around the ghost legend of his estate, called The Hallows. It's up to Betty to discover the truth.
