\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Miracle Maker” is a 10-page Sandman story by Simon&Kirby, published by DC in\u00a0ADVENTURE COMICS #78 [1942]. \u00a0The Sandman was a pre-existing character that S&K took over six months earlier, making some gradual changes to the costume.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In this story, Wesley Dodds, the wealthy alter-ego of the Sandman, notices a recently released felon working as a carnival barker. He and young friend Sandy check it out, and recognize a few other known felons working for a mystic named Magno, who is being buried alive for six hours as part of a magic trick, which conveniently provides him with an alibi for a bank robbery. Later, Sandman and Sandy investigate as Magno stages an underwater escape as cover for an attack on a wealthy man’s yacht, foiling the scheme but getting captured in the process. Don’t worry, they get out alive and dish out some violent justice in the end.<\/p>\n

The writing on the Sandman stories is pretty uneven, and this isn’t one of the better ones in terms of plot, as Magno’s schemes seem a bit half-baked and easy to see through. Visually it’s a lot better, with a few good action scenes, including the underwater fight.<\/p>\n
